It takes us down to the nuts and bolts of war—people in all their complexity! And it shows the sheer absurdity of war. 

This movie was so well played. The two young actors did a fantastic job of going from innocence to doing what had to be done. There was a stress-filled time in the beginning with lots of cursing, understandably. Good movie! Worth the watch!

I read several of the comments. I’m surprised that absolutely no one mentioned the following words spoken in the movie: “A good soldier is not one that can pull the trigger but pulls that trigger when he has to... A good soldier has humanity.” Although I agree that the ‘coward’ at first did not pull the trigger when he had to.

I so enjoyed this film. I liked it because there were strong characters that you had time to get to know. This wasn't a 'busy' sort of film; it just went along at a believable pace that had something powerful to display in every few scenes or so. Great settings, too. My kind of movie. A perfect Sunday afternoon, thanks.

Around 1:38:20 There are so many beautiful scenes throughout the movie, but to me, the most beautiful is the one seen through the binoculars. I was saying, "Faster! Faster!" and "No! Please, no!" at the same time.

To me, it is success in sight and death in waiting. Is there going to be a plot twist in the last minute? When the American flag opened and fluttered in the wind, I was so released, and tears came up in my eyes.
