Review of Casualties of War (1989) by John B — 31 Mar 2014
A very strong picture with some very good acting and scripting. Sean Penn absolutely steals the show as Sgt Tony Meserve. It's very intense showing the pressures the real private who stood up against his squad must have faced.
It's also not over dramatised from the real story with the exception of the hand grenade scene which I don't think actually happened. Overall a strong Vietnam film with a great cast and excellent directing.
