Critics' reviews

"A triumph for Scott and a war film of prodigious power"

Peter Travers: Rolling Stone
"A beautifully filmed, scrupulously authentic but strangely evasive exercise in combat ultra-realism."

Jonathan Foreman: New York Post
"A post-modern Zulu Dawn - with higher cheekbones (...) the whole film is a 135-minute action sequence. So it's never boring exactly"

Peter Bradshaw: The Guardian
"An exceptional accomplishment"

Bob Graham: SFGATE
