Pros: suspenseful story line, awesome acting, great explosions
Cons: violence and language, paced a little slow for most action enthusiasts
Lieutenant Colonel Nathaniel Serling (Denzel Washington) used to be one of the best combat commanders on the field. That is, until he made the call to fire on a tank that seemed to be shooting at them...and it turned out to be one of their own. Now he ...

Pros: Lots of big name actors
Cons: Nowhere near as good as the book
Once again, I have found a movie in which I liked the book better. This is not unusual because I usually find that I enjoy the book version better than the movie (e.g., Jurassic Park, Silence of the Lambs, etc.). And in this case, the book wasn't the...

Pros: Good movies, great soundtracks
Cons: Read on...
Epinioners,
I had no idea where else to place this essay of sorts on Fox's new line-up of remastered DVD titles, but since I discuss Courage Under Fire, which comes alphabetically first, at some length, I hope you won't mind that I filed...

Pros: A good cast and interesting structure
Cons: Idiotic ending
Akira Kurosawa's Roshamon used the trick of having the same tale presented from different points of view, thus both obfuscating the truth, and illuminating it.
Before Kurosawa, Chaucer used the same gimmick. The Bible uses it too, although...

by Andrew_Hicks - Top 500, Dec 29 '99
Pros: Top-notch acting
Cons: Matt Damon and Lou Diamond Phillips in the same movie?
The military film genre experienced a big resurgence around 1996. There were the comedy duds like Down Periscope and Sgt. Bilko, but there were also the tense action dramas like Crimson Tide and this film, both of which star Denzel Washington. This one...

Pros: The acting
Cons: Drama by-the-numbers
"Courage Under Fire" combines two popular Hollywood trends: The potboiler dramatic mystery, and the military cover-up. One could almost picture the studio executives sitting around in the jacuzzi and tossing in the elements that make up this...

Pros: It portrays factual ideas on and in day to day military life.
Cons: It has an over abundance of sexual discrimination.
Having been brought up in a family where the military, namely the United States Army, is the family business, I've found that i have a strange obsession with modern day military movies. My dad is a veteran of both the Vietnam War and the Gulf War,...

Pros: Great drama and suspense
Cons: Not one in my epinion! :)
This was a fantastic movie to watch! We had rented it on a whim and didn't think it was gonna be nearly as good as it was. It is a very high drama, the plot was excellent and the actors blow you away with their performances. The set & special...
