Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Leofwine_draca HEARTBREAK RIDGE is another hugely enjoyable film from Clint Eastwood, here acting in the dual role of director and lead actor. He plays a tough, grizzled war veteran tasked with getting a rag-tag group of youthful Marines into shape, which he does so via his ultra-tough methods. It's a film very much like Kubrick's FULL METAL JACKET, which came out a year later, but I think it has the edge in terms of enjoyability. Eastwood's naturally hard-ass character feels like a direct follow-on from his Dirty Harry and a precursor to his turn in GRAN TORINO. The script is crude but also witty and the lines are barked in just the right way. The rest of the cast are decent too, from bad guy Everett McGill to the cocky Mario Van Peebles, and despite a lengthy running time the pacing doesn't flag for an instant. This may be a predictable film but it's also one that screams fun and entertainment.
crendine As far as I know, this is the only movie that focuses on the rescue mission in Grenada in 1983. Although there are a few geographical, continuity, and factual errors in this film, it's one of those movies that just seems to get better each with each viewing. Some of the supporting acting is a bit weak, but Clint Eastwood, Marsha Mason, and Arlen Dean Snyder turn in very convincing and well-portrayed character performances. The role of Gunnery Sergeant Tom Highway was chosen by Eastwood at the exact perfect point in his film career. Particularly impressive are the quotes throughout this film. It's just one of those movies to sit back and enjoy.
JesseFloSpalding I loved this movie with the exception that it was filmed on the wrong coast. I'm a Marine from the 8th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division, which is the unit they are supposed to be in. It definitely is not Camp Lejeune, NC. No mountains there. If it had been shot on location it would have been perfect. As for the Recon being as undisciplined as they were, it was on the extreme side of reality. Recon did get away with a lot compared to other grunts but there are perks to being in an elite unit. Most of the actors did a pretty good job portraying Marines. This is in my top three movies about Marines. Being a Marine is a part of my life I will never forget. One last thing, it was said the Marine Corps disowned this movie officially when it came out. This was said because of the foul language. Reality, Marines cuss, and often, it is a fact. The move was only for PC reasons. Ask most Marines and they liked the movie.
nckeel this was a good film and i really did enjoy it.the plot did get a bit cliché towards the end but was immensely enjoyable and there was a certain degree of comedy value to this film.Clint Eastwood did a good job of playing Gunny Highway and as usual there were some excellent quotes which are very memorable and can be applied to situations in everyday life. in my opinion the best quote is "quite frankly sir, your beginning to bore the hell outta me!" . this is much easier to take in compared to other war films and is well worth watching. top stuff from a top actor and is definitely in the same league as some of Eastwood's other movies
