We Were Soldiers
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.
Maximum Action, Maximum Drama!-We Were Soldiers is a powerful and bloody war movie based on a true story that moves at a heart-racing and ear-shattering pace!
On Sunday November 14, 1965 at 10.48am, Lt Col. Hal Moore (Mel Gibson) and his regiment of 400 men touch down at Landing Zone X-ray in the Ia Drang Valley, a place in Vietnam known as "The Valley of Death".
They find themselves surrounded by roughly 2,000 North Vietnamese soldiers and the ensuing battle becomes one of the most savage in U.S history.
Heroism, bravery, sacrifice, the butchery of battle, We Were Soldiers is a gruelling exploration of war with all it's horrors, that can rightly take it's place alongside War classics, Apocalypse Now, Saving Private Ryan and Platoon.
I'm not a huge war film fan, but my hubby asked me to watch it with him, and I was gripped.
Excellent direction, and great casting make this a intimate and really quite graphic account of this true story.
It's very, very good.
A worthy addition to your DVD collection.
