Courage Under Fire 1996

The plot of this movie really didn't track for me - there was no discernible reason at all for Matt Damon's character not to speak up.

Mediocre military porn. American soldiers massacring Iraqi soldiers without at any point recognising the Iraqis as anything more than cannon fodder.

And eventually I was turned off by the idea that Captain Walden should be given the medal of honor after pointing a gun at her own soldier, leading to the Mexican stand-off that got her wounded. Yes, she later "sacrificed herself" so that her soldiers could evacuate first, but there was absolutely no time spent showing that this was in any way necessary for the evacuation.

Also, don't watch this movie because of Matt Damon. He's wasted in this film.
