It's like there were two movies here. Clint Eastwoods' portrayal of an aging marine, and then there was whatever the rest of cast was doing.

Clint Eastwoods' portrayal of an aging marine, and then there was whatever the rest of cast was doing. The writing was entirely by-the-book, with no surprises and giving token moments to the development of the story. I wish the movie had taken the material seriously and not have a bunch of actors running around pretending to be marines. I would blame the mess entirely on the writer, but Eastwood was able to salvage something out of his character, the rest seemed like they were in a cartoon. Expand

'Heartbreak Ridge' is a rather good war film, one I enjoyed a fair bit.

Clint Eastwood, to no-one's surprise, is the best performer from the onscreen talent, though I did like the support cast - namely Mario Van Peebles, Boyd Gaines and Arlen Dean Snyder.

The plot is, although obvious in where it is heading, fun and holds one's attention. The score doesn't particularly stand out but there is one part around the middle which is neat. Some of the dialogue is a little cringe, but there are some good lines in there for Mr. Eastwood to quip.

Clint as a flawed Marine, taking orders from incompetent officers, trying to reconnect with his ex, what more could you ask for?
