Yet Again

Rating: Null/10 (21 October 2004)

Mr. Gibson & his screen writer make a hash of the FACTS. I watched this film for some reference points whilst reading the most excellent book 'ChichenHawk' & it is sad that such an important story is portrayed so badly. Mr. Gibson obviously just can't help himself & indirectly yet again shows his contempt to the British. Now before I get abused as a 'No Good Limey'....IF you want to make a 'Documentary' style movie....Stick to the Facts....BUT what is most distasteful bit is: The Main character in this film is in fact a Brit who in wanting to do his bit in Vietnam, became a US citizen & joined the Army. Now for the important bit.....After leaving the Forces, he became head of security for I think it was Walberg's in the Twin Towers. During his time there he wrote a document about the fact that the most probable Danger to the Staff was from an air attack. On that fateful day he not only got every single member of the company out alive, he also went back in to safe more Lives & then Died a TRUE Hero. So I find it sad that since this film was made post 9/11 that Mr. Gibson did not feel it important to make this FACT known. To the actual film itself.....I did not think there was anything new about the treatment & whilst reading 'ChickenHawk', I hope somebody has the courage to make that story into a Movie.
