A Tribute to Real Heroes

Rating: 10/10 (10 March 2002)

There are no words to describe this movie except "moving." The film is a tribute to those the fell at LZ X-Ray in the Valley of Death in Southern Vietnam. Mel Gibson leads his "boys" into sudden death and does it without any flaws. The film and all of it's actors are believable and right on the mark. The directing of Randall Wallace does what it should: puts you in the battle. Wallace also penned the script which is sensitive and to the point. This film shows how the soldiers fought for each other, rather than some cause. Walking out of the theater you are lost for words and proud to be an American.
