    One Of The Best War Movie Ever...
    I really do like war scenes.. It does not matter if the genre is sci-fiction or history. Bullets, gun fires or lasers, big bombs... Blood. This is it. The interesting thing about this movie is you do not see these kind of scenes but at he end you feel like you've watched a killer one !

    I'm not an emotional guy and truly hate romance but the amount of pink scenes got harmonized with history & war so professionally that one can not be bored during the movie.

    To sum... must be watched.
