I would more consider this a battle movie instead of a war movie. True that we get to see some of the strategies from the opposing forces but as far as it being a movie, something is missing. Mel turns in a strong performance, the epitome of leadership with his men. Throughout the battle he stays calm issuing orders alongside cold as ice old school Sam Elliot. Then they juxtapose this with the telegrams being delivered to the widows like they were sent by the internet instantly home. Again, GREAT battle movie. The thing I loved about it -- at the end when they are listing the men who died in the 3 day battle they do not list their ranks. When a man gives his life to his country, it does not matter if you were a private, Lieutenant, Colonel or a non-combatant, you've made the ultimate sacrifice and are a hero in my book. What happened to Madeleine Stowe's lips? It's like she played Dig Dug but they puffed her lips instead. Who is telling these actesses that looks good?
