awesome

This movie is phenomenal!!!! I have never seen a movie I cared more about in my life. Not even Gone With the Wind!!!! This movie has everything you could ever want and somethings you didn't know you wanted. There is not a single thing wrong with this movie. Borgman is such a talented director. So few people have the ability to direct and act and do it WELL. Borgman not only does both fantastically but he also does it while maintaining his rigorous filming schedule with all the movies he does over the years. This man is more of a genius than Hitchcock, Nolan, Lucas and Scorsese combined. This movie blows any other war movie out of the water. Move over Spielberg, here comes Borgman!!!!!
