It compares very well with the better ones, which include Wings, Alexander Nevskii, The Birth of a Nation, Hell's Angels and The Alamo. It provides a realistic portrayal of the war in Iraq.
Wow. My war-movie experience is quite limited. I’ve not seen any that you mentioned. I’ve seen a few John Waynes, Patton, Big Red One, Platoon, FMJ, Saving Pvt. Ryan and several of the modern ones made in the last 20. I will try and check out those you’ve mentioned. Thanks!
