Title: OUTSTANDING!
Review: While I was too young to serve in Vietnam I do remember the controversy and pain that the war caused. The daily news reports and the folks on your very own block that received bad news about a loved one, for what?This movie captures both the emotional side of the women left to worry about their men and the closeness of the men that went to fight. Of particular interest was the studious leader (Mel Gibson) who researched everything before going in to battle. Knowing the enemy and his traits, this is not something normallly portrayed in a movie about the Vietnam War.And what an excellent movie that kept me (and my date) both glued to the end of our seats. The action is both excitiing and depressing at the same time. The true face of war. An awesome reflection on the tragedy of it all.I highly recommend this movie to anyone who can look past the violence and senselessness of war, any war, but especially the Vietnam War (as far as senselessness).Do yourself a favor, see this movie ASAP.
