Although it is not as stylish as PSYCHO, or as fun as NORTH BY NORTHWEST, this is Hitchcock's best picture. It is deeper than almost any other film ever made, and is complimented by an incredibly good Bernard Hermann score and great acting by James Stewart. However, I have one question: In the first 45 minutes or so in the movie, right when James Stewart is first hired to follow Kim Novak's character, who is it that he sees in the window of the old hotel? I have watched the film many times and have not been able to figure that part out. Anyway, this is a masterpiece on many levels.
WE WERE SOLDIERS, as an idea, holds a lot of potential: A non-political film about the Vietnam War starring Mel Gibson. Not bad. But the film turned out as bad as it could. There were cliches after cliches found in this film, and the two montages (telegram and photograph) were horrible. Not only that, but this picture made out that the Vietcong were the military powerhouse getting their butts kicked, not the other way around which is how it was. Although I liked almost ever war movie I've seen, I despise this one.
This movie was awful. The plot was extremely dull, predictable and full of cliches. Denzel Washington, Robert DuVall and Ray Liota, all of whom are normally terrific, gave stale performances. And what gets me the most, is that the only major character that is a veteran doctor is made an antagonist. It is not, by any means, doctors' fault when HMO's screw there clients. I have nothing good to say about JOHN Q.
