Heartbreak Ridge

One of my favourite Clint Eastwood films. A not-so-subtle remake of The Sands of Iwo Jima with Clint Eastwood taking on John Wayne's role as the crusty training sergeant who later leads his troops into battle. Good characterisation for the supporting cast and - of course - a suitable come-uppance for the 'officious' officer. This tells the tale that an army is run efficiently by the NCOs, provided the commissioned officers don't interfere too much.

Exceptional film staring a true hero of cinema. And Mario Van Peebles is ok in it too...

brilliant film to watch from Clint Eastwood
