Movie Reviews of Heartbreak Ridge (Snap Case)
Movie Review: Complete scuttlebutt
Summary: 1 Stars
This hap-hazard display of Marines in Force Recon is so devoid of any reality,that I cannot believe it even got as far as the script being read from beginning to end by the person who decided to finance it at the movie studio.I was in the Corps,nothing special,just an aircraft mechanic, and lived on base long enough to know that whenever an officer orders a platoon to fall in, they don't just show up standing around,wearing sunglasses,smoking cigarettes and shooting their mouths off. ANYONE in ANY branch of service could tell you that 95% of this stuff just does'nt go on.When I was on Parris Island,one of my drill instructors was in Force Recon,horseshoe buzzcut on his head,the works(Staff Sgt.Carnegie,I'll never,ever forget that man,sometimes I thought he was possessed by Satan)and let me tell you that if I,you or anyone ever found themselves in combat that it would be very advantageous to have him or any of these guys in a foxhole with you. The school that these guys go through is hard enough,much less the discipline and respect you gotta' have to make it through the Marine Corps itself.So trust me,ask any Marine if they walk around talking to their superiors with such dis-respect as these idiots do.I guarantee you that Marines who have made it (to and through Force Recon training) don't walk around like that moron Mario van Peeble's character does,wearing friggin' earrings,just showing up when he wants to,waking up when he wants to.Also,it was'nt Force Recon that rescued the students in Grenada,it was the Army Rangers dropped in on a H.A.L.O. jump among other various personell.I gave this flick 1 star for the reason that it's so far from reality,that it actually had a few funny moments (thanks to Eastwoods character).Also,I can't believe Eastwood would even direct AND star in such sillinness.In closing,I hope that anyone out there that saw this waste of celluoid does'nt assume that the Corps is like this.Maybe,just maybe they should have shot this flick in some brig somewhere because thats where these idiots would have been anyway!Theres always a few boneheads out there,but they're not all gathered up in one platoon.This flick should have been called a comedy instead of some kind of docu-drama!
