Rent it and turn up your sound really loud. Also disregard all the morons who are saying to rent "A Thin Red Line" I acutally fell asleep during this movie. It SUCKED!!!

You guy have honestly have to have the weridist movie choices. Thin Red Line, Jason X over this?

While Saving Private Ryan wasnt perfectly realistic it was very damned good. Not to mention Band Of Brothers is execellent as well. If you want a vietnam war movie, "We were soldiers" the movie almost made me cry when the wives went around handing out letters...

Imagine what a nice result it would have given to see a real bullet hit him in the head!

Why do I keep reading threads where people say Tom Hanks sucks. Did I miss some ATOT joke about Tom Hanks or something? IMO he is a good actor...

FMJ is an 'nam movie...

U-571? You are now officially a retard, now go drool someplace else...

What's wrong with U-571? I thought it was entertaining as hell. My first Dolby Digital movie, too.

Sweet, I'm gonna have to pick that up. Walmart is a pretty good place for DVD's, they're always changing their stock of what is on sale.
