Gripping war-drama

Rating: 9/10 (4 March 2002)

This movie is not like Black Hawk Down or Saving Private Ryan. It has a more human aspect where you follow the war both on the battlefield and in the homes of their families. Mel Gibson makes a role he is very good at by now (remember Braveheart and The Patriot), playing a dedicated colonel who cares about his men. The difference compared to the other two movies is that emotions an the personality of the character is more prominent.
Also very good movie score by Glennie-Smith.
