Too much of everything
Invaderbank
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

The Hornets Nest This was the best war documentary I have ever seen. It made you feel as if I was actually in the battles.Mike B is a true hero for letting the world see what war is really like.Risking his life and his sons takes real courage. My sons watched this film on DVD and they are now much more appreciative of all they have and what our Military goes through.I watched other war docs after but they lacked some of the intensity found in this film. There is a lot of swearing but that is war. Get the DVD as it will be a movie you want to pass on to everyone.

The wars our soldiers have endured in Iraq and Afghanistan deserve the best possible understanding by an informed citizenry. This documentary is about as close to being shot in combat as you will get to see. Take off your political hat and just watch and listen to the bullets fly past. Men are killed in this documentary (though you don't get to see the incident). Men die because they can't be rescued in time. You get to see heart break their friends, sergeants and officers feel at the loss. I also recommend you read/listen to "The Good Soldiers" by David Filkens about our troops in Iraq. If you do all that--then you can really say the words: "Thank you for your service!"

To all those who are reviewing without seeing it and also rating the movie low who HAVEN NOT EVEN SEEN IT IS SILLY, this movie I thought would be okay, but when I watched it I was very fascinated and cried near the end :-) because of how the ending played out. (NO SPOILERS) best movie ever.I hope someone else felt the same other than me, if you are interested in wars you will love this, please try it, it's a shirt film but it's very good. I was on the edge of my seat. It was great.I was very interested in this and it was way better then I expected.This also shows how our troops go out and do their job under so much pressure but do such a good job.

Both are excellent, seat of your pants, documentaries. All men and women under 30 should see this movie and then go complain about how bad they have it. These are real men and women, America's best, and they are over there kicking butts and taking names. They don't fight for some "pie-in-the-sky" idea of America but they fight for each other. They are in a bad situation and trying to make it out all in one piece. So sad that our political leaders never learn from past mistakes and tie our military's hands behinds its back. I'm not real keen on Hollywood and what comes out of it. This is not part of that pathetic industry -- great movie, worth your time AND your money.
