Title: As good as it gets
Review: Put aside your opinions of Gibson. This movie isn't about him or his character. Character studies of lunatics driven mad by this insane war is the Vietnam movie we've come to expect. This is something different. In fact Gibson in a helmet looks so much like John Wayne that its easy to mistake this for a WWII movie. But fortunately this isn't an old-fashioned propaganda film. This movie gives heroism and realism a fine balance and both sides of the fight are treated honestly and with respect.Heroism aside, the death toll in this story proves the waste of it all. Nobody has to die in these wars of choice and the cursed names of those who commit troops to die in them will live in infamy. That is their legacy.
