If this doesn't get nominated, nothing should

Rating: 10/10 (25 August 2006)

After my second viewing, my emotions were stirred as strongly as the first. This clearly shows Oliver Stone at his best. Although Oliver Stone isn't typically aligned with the right, he is certainly aligned with the righteous. If this isn't a recruitment film for the Marines, I don't know what is. And I mean that in a good way. The fact that the individual who came from up state to save the two Port Authority policemen is a true story is both incredible and a rifle shot point made by Stone that a few good men can make a difference. In fact, if it wasn't for this staff Sargent, there probably wouldn't have been a story. Stone's use of the camera and closeups of the characters and the scenes put you inside the film. And when they cried, you cried. I'll bet the box office is just o.k. because the subject is so disturbing. Every American should see this movie.and it should be regular fare on DVD in every high school in America. Bravo to all involved...too many greats to list.
