Very good movie. I saw it in the theatre. It passed my watch test. If I can watch a movie without checking out what time it is, that is a good movie. Last Samurai was one.

Yeah it was nice, but I still place 3rd behind Gladiator and Black Hawk down as war movies...

Touche. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

If you like war movies try "When Trumpets Fade". It's a HBO movie, but still really good.
Enemy at the Gates is another good one - I had to go out and find one of the rifles that Zaitsev was using. I have 3 Nagants in different configurations now. [img]redface.gif[/img]

I have to concur with everyone else here. Like most I'm not a big TC fan and after a few minutes totally forgot he was in it. Rent it, buy it, whatever it takes just see it.
