Wonderful

Rating: 9/10 (21 July 2002)

If you like military movies, you will definitely like this one. Mel Gibson's character, Lt. Col. Moore, is one of the best speakers that I have ever heard. It is not what he says that gets to you, it's how he says it. He is completely honest, he holds nothing back. And he keeps his word. The movie would make anyone associated with the military proud. You feel like you have a connection to all of the characters in this movie. You feel the pain of the wives when they get the news of their husband's deaths, and the fear of the stranded soldiers when they learn that they are surrounded by Vietnamese troops. This movie was truly breathtaking for me.
