Watched "We Were Soldiers" with Mel Gibson and Greg Kinnear last night in the theater.
This was a pretty good war flick with some unflinchingly good scenes of death and destruction. I also liked the way they showed the Vietamese regular army people as being a well trained and disciplined force and showed glimpses of their lives and families and really drew a parallel between the americans and the vietnamese involved in this battle.
And Greg Kinnear's performance was perfectly understated. Who knew this guy who started on "Talk Soup" could really act?
No, this is not Braveheart in Vietnam. It's a really good story.
