Product Description:
A Marine Corps drill sergeant starts his last tour of duty before mandatory retirement and leads his men into Grenada.
Genre: Feature Film-Drama
Rating: R
Release Date: 27-SEP-2005
Media Type: DVD
Amazon.com:
The controversial, Reagan-era invasion of Grenada by U.S. troops is, oddly enough, at the center of this initially interesting story of a seasoned Marine sergeant (Clint Eastwood) routinely insulted by younger officers for being a symbol of the war that America "lost" in Vietnam. Looking for both a victory and a little redemption, Eastwood's character trains a squadron of scrappy pups and turns them into fighting grunts, just in time to follow White House orders and take the little island. Marsha Mason plays Eastwood's love interest, and Mario Van Peebles is funny as an undisciplined con artist who joins Clint's men and finally catches the spirit after getting his butt kicked a few times. --Tom Keogh

Rating: - One of Eastwood's Best!
"Heartbreak Ridge" is one of Clint Eastwood's best films and is one of my favorites. Eastwood is terrific as "Gunny Highway", an old-school, tough as nails, "it's my way or the highway" Marine drill Sargent who whips a group of goof-off misfits into a fighting Recon Platoon just in time for the Granada invasion. Mario Van Peeples is great as "Stitch Jones", a washed-up rock and roller who is the lead goof-off of the platoon. Eastwood never runs out of halarious one-liners as he takes on all comers ...

Rating: - The Prequel to Eastwoods Grand Torino
Having just watched Clint Eastwoods GRAND TORINO, I find myself remembering this movie. Clint Eastwoods character in Heartbreak Ridge and Grand Torino give me a literal 25 year story of an honorable American soldier.
Rating: - Love this movie but Blu-ray is flawed
This is probably my favorite Clint Eastwood movie. I can talk about why I love this movie but this review is really for the Blu-ray.
For the majority of the movie, the words are about a split second behind the actor's mouth. I exchanged the first dvd hoping it was just the one I bought but it wasn't. If both dvds were like that then they probably all are. If I'm wrong about this then please tell me. If you buy the Blu-ray version, watch closely.
