Kinda Ruined...

Rating: 7/10 (2 March 2002)

We Were Soldiers: 6/10
The best parts of the film were not on the soldiers yet with the families of these men (and there were few of these scenes).
Formula ridden war sequences that pale in comparison to Saving Private Ryan. Mel Gibson acted well, and nearly over acted at times, but pulled it off in the end.
It was like Platoon but without the dope or psychology... without the heart.
The film is worth seeing but the director ruined it.
