Get the DVD. You won't regret it. Have a box of tissues on standby. First movie that ever got to me.

Watch for the closing credits! The music is "Mansions of the Lord" (hymn sung at Ronald Reagan's funeral).

The critics can say what they will, but Mel Gibson has been associated with some movies that get to me- this is one of them. There are some FReepers who were actually at Ia Drang, and if you didn't realize what they went through for us then, this film will bring it home to you.
(BTW, I first saw this film while my son was home on leave... it was actually unsettling for a dad whose only kid was headed back to Iraq within two weeks. And maybe it was supposed to be.)

I saw it at the theatre with another Vet. I ain't ashamed to say I was crying as I left the show.
It is an understatement to say that Mel Gibson is a gifted and powerful filmmaker.
See it.

I've been in some very nasty combat, but nothing, nothing like this. Great movie about a great Army unit.

I'll NOT give out a "spoiler", but look for this:
the cryptic meaning of a sign in the airport near the end of the film...

Ending sucks. Ruins the whole movie. Read the book and skip the movie.

One of the very few movies I bought on DVD. Tissues are mandatory.

Just finished watching it, and how sweet to watch a movie about Vietnam heroes a few days after John Kerry sank into deep water.

Watch it! Then buy it.
The battle in the Ia Drang valley has a couple of names; LZ-X RAY or the one I knew years ago, the "Lost Platoon".

Watch it. It is outstanding and based on the truth. Our Guys did the JOB in Viet Nam. I'm not a combat veteran but I am a veteran and I hold the Guys that this story is about to be my Big brothers. These guys did the JOB and the people that say they did not can go to #$%%. HHHHOOOOORRRRAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
