Bridge too Far
, November 22, 2000Reviewer: soup_fish - See all soup_fish's reviewsThis is probably the War film to end all others! Featuring stunning battle scenes and moving performances from major stars. The film glides along showing perspectives from both sides of this epic battle as it unrolls. Concentrating mostly on the action this film also highlights the elation, horror and sheer waste of war.
For all the nerds out there (like me)all the hardware looks 100% accurate. Check out the PIAT team taking on the Tiger.
To sum; up this is a real boys film but is fairly accurate and by far the most realistic war film EVER! It deals with the emotional element without long weepy monologues. Eat your heart out Private Ryan! ...
