Movie Review

Grade: A Courage Under Fire is one of the best war movie ever... a compelling story of a woman who almost certainly was most honorable and a man investigating her courageous act, yet altered by her own officers to protect themselves. Denzel Washington and Meg Ryan do a superb job in this believable and well done movie. Read the full movie review
