I wanted to test out the new bluray player in my new computer last night so I grabbed We Were Soldiers from RedBox.
We Were Soldiers is one of my all time favorite war movies, mostly because it follows what actually happened during the Battle of Ia Drang pretty closely. While not a huge Mel Gibson fan, he played the part of Lt. Colonel Hal Moore to perfection. Sam Elliot plays the part of the gritty old Sgt. Major, a role he also falls into perfectly. The cinematography of the movie is nothing short of amazing, there are times when you feel total immersed into the scene.
If you have never seen this movie I highly recommend it.
