Watched this last night, great story. I did think I was watching a Saving Private Ryan Forrest Gump mash up though. Some of the shooting scenes were grizzly as fuck. Why didnt the Japs cut the rope bridge down?

I didnt buy Vince Vaughn as a soldier one bit, especially playing the hard nosed instructor role. Vince Vaughn is best suited to playing a douchebag because Vince Vaughn is a douchebag.

He was decent in True Detective. This was a good movie and a great story of sticking to your beliefs.

I saw the preview but a pacifist in the war? Meh, I like my war heroes to rack up some kills!

There's plenty of those but to enter a battlefield without a weapon? That's true bravery right there.

It just goes to show that Hollywood will forgive anything as long as there are a few bucks involved.
