I decided to watch this movie because I'm a war movie buff, used to seeing fantastic special effects, latest technology, etc. This movie turned out to be a pleasant surprise - a good war flick but a better human interest story. I've long regarded James Cromwell as an excellent actor, always giving good performances in any role he's cast. I've always been leery of his views, regarding them as very liberal & anti-establishment. After watching this movie, I'm rethinking my view. This movie was about a slice of American life where the old & new get together on common ground. James Cromwell makes this movie what I found it to be - a great emotional interplay between father & son well interspersed with good action sequences. This movie now rates as one of my all-time favorites!
