Emotional account - We Were Soldiers review by JD
How many good films have been made about the Vietnam war? Surely enough to put off most producers. This is a particularly human account and dwells on very emotional details. Mel Gibson is of course excellent in this role and wrings every drop of heart ache out of the pain of war. Some pretty graphic bloody bits. The friendly fire third degree burn shot is etched into my psyche. A real tear jerker.
