this be a movie that i hop i could suggest to my american friend . but after 4 attempt to watch the movie to finish and i know i couldn not even watch the damn thing to close . you be almost convince the actual war do not even last that long . other will try to question my patriotism for criticize a movie like this . but flat out and you can not go from watch save private ryan to loc . forget about the movie budget difference or the audience those do not preclude a director from make an intelligent movie . the length of the movie be not so bad and the fact that it be repetitive they keep attack the same hill but give it different name . i think the loc be a terrible terrain this hill look like my backyard . the character development sequence ( the soilders flashback and look back to their last moment and before be deploy ) should have be throughout the movie and not just clump into one long memory . to this day and i have yet to watch the end . but there be a much good movie ( not say much ) call border .
