The most realistic war film out there, it paints an unlikely (but true) hero into our memories in the tradition of Saving Private Ryan.

Gibson's film may not be explicitly anti-war - not anti-this-war anyway - but it sure doesn't make it seem like much fun. War is hell, Gibson suggests, but occasionally an angel like Doss emerges from its fog. Read more
