    Good history lesson

    Good adaptation of Hal Moore’s book. A good history lesson for younger people that know too much about our involvement in Vietnam

    I Can't See A Thing, But I Can Smell Them!

    This movie portrayal of the Vietnam War is a good as it gets. Excellent performances by Mel Gibson, Sam Elliot, Greg Kinnear & especially Duong Don and his role as a lieutenant colonel leading his Vietnamese forces against Mel Gibson's Soldiers.

    One of the better war films

    This is a war film that I think is under rated and often missed due to the many war films of the 90s. It isn't the best but is in the top 10 war films of its decade. Pick it up for your collection.

    Emotional & gut wrenching

    This movie is not for everyone. There are war scenes that are graphic, which is the reality of situations like the conflict in the Ia Drang Valley, Vietnam. I had watched the movie several times, and never lost the emotional attachment to all the soldiers' lives that were lost in that first major battle between the U.S. Army and the PAVN with the Viet Cong on 14 November, 1965. It also brings in emotions of some families with soldiers involved. The ambush at LZ X-Ray under the command of Harold G. Moore was short. Only a 2 day fight, but watching the movie gives you the perception it was much longer by immersing you into the soldiers and pilots' feelings and thoughts. It also also touches (lightly) on how the command of the enemy may have functioned. Great acting. Great cinematography. This movie reminds you of what others have sacrificed for us today. **Remember your Veterans** NOTE: A book by the same name, written by Harold Moore and co-authored by Joseph Galloway (1992) is also a good read if you want to find out more on this subject. A follow up book was written in 2008 called "We Are Soldiers Still".
