We Were Soldiers

We Were Soldiers
Cast: Mel Gibson
Studio: Paramount
Rating: 7.5/10

Based on the true story of Lt. Col. Hal Moore (Mel Gibson), who led 400 American soldiers into the first bloody battle of the Vietnam War.

The film is based on a book entitled We Were Soldiers Once… And Young by Hal Moore. Mel Gibson plays Moore a lieutenant Colonel and he gives a brilliant performance along with co-stars Greg Kinnear, Barry Pepper and Sam Elliott.

The film is portrays a wonderful battle showcase. It feels real and that is the appeal of We Were Soldiers. It may seem like we have had enough war films to last us a lifetime, especially Vietnam films, but when they are as entertaining and heartfelt as this you realize one more can’t hurt.
