Just so you know, war is bad.
After watching this film, it's easy to see why it didn't make much at the Box office. I don't think people like it when their cherished beliefs are torn apart like so much tissue. And, the the movie states the government will lie to us to further it's own ends.
It's a beautifully done film. It owes a lot to Saving Ryan's Privates for it's battle scenes but nothing near as graphic. But how many shots of men holding in their intestines do you really need?
All in all a very politically incorrect little film from Clint Eastwood. I can't wait to see Letters from Iwo Jima
