Title: A tribute worthy of the brave men who served
Review: First off what can be more worthy of respect then a group of veterans (now civilians) long past their physical prime putting their lives on the line for something as ethereal (in today's society) as a cause. And each of them has personal demons to fight which is engaging to view in its own right. Add to that the fact that they're a hodge podge of personalities. Throw in a young hot shot Devil Dog (Swayze) with alot of naive ideas but a powerful motive and Hackman as the man tasked with pulling off the impossible. There it is.What you end up with is a moving portrayal of the spirit and courage of those American heroes so unfairly derided despite whatever beliefs you may have about that particular war.Although the film is a little cliched and predictable in spots the final product is commendable, tragic, and heartfelt.
