This movie does a pretty good job on focusing on the characters, but they overpowered by the battle sequences and pacing that is a bit off. It doesn't seem so much of individual characters than a scrapbook of different personalities. And coming in at under 2 hours, it's not quite long enough to develop a decent relationship with any of the soldiers. But it is definitely a harrowing look at the group of green soldiers who are immediately thrown into a strategic nightmare in trying to take Hill 937.
Most of the actors were little-known when this was shot, you should recognize a few now. While not the best war movie (it's got some pretty steep competition), it definitely is a well-done film and is worth watching at some point in time.
