Movie Reviews of Heartbreak Ridge
Movie Review: Poor by Clint's high standards but
Summary: 4 Stars
Along with The Rookie its probably the worst film Clint Eastwood ever directed. However I've given it 4 stars because it IS hugely entertaining and even though he was 56 when this was made Clint looks great in the role.
The film is too long at 125mins, but for the first hour and a half you will get to see and hear Clint deliver some classic lines. He spits and chews people out. I also think this is the first film where Clint used that gruff voice that has subsequently become a trademark, reaching its zenith in Gran Torino where simply growls at people!
The plot such that it is needs no explaining, there is a love story and its a classic re-working of films like Full Metal Jacket and the Dirty Dozen. Its not as good as those, although it is a little tongue in cheek where they are not, but it has Clint Eastwood in it, and that is reason enough to see it. A living legend.
Summary of Heartbreak Ridge
Sergeant tom highway a hardened tough veteran of korea and vietnam returns to the united states for his last tour of duty with the u.S. Marine corps. He is assigned to training a recon unit. Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 11/13/2007 Starring: Clint Eastwood Bo Svenson Run time: 130 minutes Rating: R Director: Clint EastwoodThe controversial, Reagan-era invasion of Grenada by U.S. troops is, oddly enough, at the center of this initially interesting story of a seasoned Marine sergeant (Clint Eastwood) routinely insulted by younger officers for being a symbol of the war that America "lost" in Vietnam. Looking for both a victory and a little redemption, Eastwood's character trains a squadron of scrappy pups and turns them into fighting grunts, just in time to follow White House orders and take the little island. Marsha Mason plays Eastwood's love interest, and Mario Van Peebles is funny as an undisciplined con artist who joins Clint's men and finally catches the spirit after getting his butt kicked a few times. --Tom Keogh
