Yes, I agree... He was superb in it. Maybe "The Taking of Pelham 1,2,3 as well... I know many dont like Hopscotch but I love that one as well. Not a great film but a dirty secret:DQuote:

Joe Don Baker was also great in this, as the ruthless, sociopathic hitman. The end in the scrapyard was brilliant!!Quote:

Directed by Mel Gibson, based on a true story.
Holy Hell...that was strong.
Best War film (aside Path's of Glory) since Malik's Thin Red Line...and a million times more visceral.
(I've seen Ryan)
Gibson is Hollywood Royalty...seriously.
You are a fan of Thin Red Line? I suppose there had to be one somewhere. ;) It's okay, don't get me wrong, but it's no 'A Bridge Too Far' which, let's face it, has always been the one to beat.Quote:

Mels we were soldiers was his best serious effort i think.
Bigger fan of Paths of Glory!
