Denzil & Meg under fire with courage

This was Denzil's second pairing with director Ed Zwick, their first being his Oscar winning "Glory". This is a worthy follow-up and it was almost largely ignored since it was the year of Titantic & LA Confidential and "Courage" was lost in the shuffle. Nevertheless this is a thought provoking meditative film about courage & cowardice under fire. Washington in a very difficult (he should have been nominated at least!!) is outstanding as a stoic officer who makes a bitter mistake under fire and accidentally kills one of his men. Ryan is just as fine as the late officer who is under investigation for her part in a fire fight with the enemy. I disagree with a lot of the reviewers who felt she was miscast since before this film she did a number of comedies and was severely type cast. The acting is solid thoroughout with Lou Diamond Phillips & an emaciated Matt Damon being the standouts. Also Michael Moriarty is fine as Washington's superior. I have had the Standard Dvd version of this film but am planning to get this on Blu-ray. Whole heartedly recommended for Washington fans and war buffs!! June 11, 2008

A matter of honor.

Courage Under Fire in my opinion is Meg Ryan's best work to date. This movie is anything but a chick flick, real dramatic and gutsy film also starring Denzel Washington, Matt Damon, and Lou Diamond Phillips. This movie is hard to watch but it is very important, the movie takes during the Golf War. Great performances, and a tearjeker of a story, I highly recommend checking this film out, enjoy!

War is hell

An army colonel (Denzel washington) is motivated to find out whether a female helecopter pilot (Meg Ryan) is worthy to recieve a posthumous Medal of Honor killed during Desert Storm. Different version of events thru the survivors eyes. Good casting, solid storyline. January 20, 2008

Great movie to own.

I purchased this movie after renting the blu-ray disc. A good movie to have on hand with a great story. Denzel Washington gets a 5 star performence from me. September 8, 2007
