Good but stalled at spots

Rating: 7/10 (10 September 2006)

first of all - did Sgt. Thomas, the marine who was black ever get any credits or acknowledgment in the credits??? Not that it was a documentary, but whoever is doing the research could have done a better job. It may seem so petty or insignificant but it's a huge blunder to portray everyone else as accurately as possible, yet assume the marine was white. Anyway, a decent movie which could have been cut down as it stalled several times, as I guess the producers were trying to evoke some type of emotion. Nevertheless, I would recommend this film merely to showcase a different perspective of what happened during this time. The casting was pretty good and provided a more realistic perspective of what the families, as well as the men went through.
