July 21, 2005It's not what I expected, in other words it kind of sucks and it's so boring I expected better. To be honest the only reason I bought the movie is because Orlando Bloom is or should I say was in it. The Dummest part was/is when Orlando Bloom died. I mean what kind of moron director would make Orlando's character as someone who dies? He's too hot to die.

June 13, 2004This movie was incredible. It had amazing war sequences and it portrayed the events that happened to these american soldiers very well. I have to say that I love war movies and this one is no exception. I would say this and Saving Private Ryan are up there in some of the greatest war flix of all time.
