After suffering through We Were Soldiers, I think I've seen all the war movies I care to endure for quite some time.

As I settled into my World War II memories, I found myself strangely moved by even the corniest and most hackneyed contrivances.

Makes you cry for the hundreds of thousands of men and women who died so pointlessly with Geoghegan. And their orphans.

rotten:
The Vietnam setting looks authentic enough, but the action is as inert and unpersuasive as Gibson's attempt to fashion Bill Mauldin poetry out of his $20-million-plus smirk.

Probably the best thing you can say about We Were Soldiers is that it does justice to an awful conflict.
