Hamburger Hill
1987
**½
Director: John Irvin
Cast: Anthony Barrile, Michale Patrick Boatman, Don Cheadle, Michael Dolan
A fact-based Vietnam War film about a battle for a strategically meaningless (but symbolically vital) hill that ended in a bloodbath. The film has no real lead characters, and this is both its strength and its weakness. The continuous fighting also becomes monotonous.
