Reviews for Hamburger Hill
The most remarkable traits of this realistically detailed chronicle of a crucial, bloody Vietnam War combat is that it steers clear of Stallone's right-wing machismo in Rambo and of Oliver Stone's metaphorical meanings (good versus evil) in Platoon.
Serves as a grim reminder of what it was like for young men to live and die in the war in Vietnam.
