Synopsis

Clint Eastwood takes a revisionist approach to his tough-guy persona once again in HEARTBREAK RIDGE. As he had done in TIGHTROPE and PALE RIDER, and as he would do even more memorably in UNFORGIVEN, Eastwood probes beneath the surface of his prototypical character, a man who feels most at ease amid violence. HEARTBREAK RIDGE is a deft blend of service comedy, action film, and, most surprisingly, a genuine adult love story, as Sergeant Highway tries, with touching earnestness, to win back the affections of his ex-wife (Marsha Mason), after his devotion to the corps has kept them apart for too many lonely years. Meanwhile, he has to whip his inexperienced, undisciplined troops into shape.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE BEST FILM EVER, 27 April 2003

By	Thomas McAughtrie - See all my reviews

Clint Eastwood's best film EVER. Gunny Highway ( Clint Eastwood ) plays a war relic in this army farce . He becomes platoon leader of marine squadron 2 with hillarious concequences at first they detest him and want rid of him but and i quote the reply "Dream on ........ ". The story and film itself is'nt funny it's clint's lines that make this movie pure class - " I eat concertina wire and piss napalm and can can fire a round through a fleas ass from 200 metres " . So buy this film now.

4.0 out of 5 stars Essence of Clint Eastwood, 6 Jul 2004

By	bernie "xyzzy" (Arlington, Texas) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Heartbreak Ridge [DVD] [1986] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)

I grew up on Eastwood movies from his Cowboy era to Dirty Harry and beyond. I have to say this movie is as good in its way as any of the previous.

The story has been told many times over of a rough tough unconventional leader shaping up a rag tag misfit group into a cohesive force to be reckoned with. Many times using unconventional or vary conventional ways. Not only in the military field but also many other fields. So it is more the delivery than the story that one would want to watch this movie for.
Marine sergeant (Clint Eastwood) facing retirement and trying to cope with a failed marriage and ex wife is tasked with turning a rag tag bunch of individuals into marines. He is hampered by self glorification self credit seeking people on all sides. If he fails many will die. So will he succeed and if so at what cost?

5.0 out of 5 stars Clint at his best., 1 April 2003

By	"mad_bastard_sketchy_bartlett" - See all my reviews

When I first watched this film I fell in love with it. It's similar in plot and storyline to films such as Platoon, Full Metal Jacket and Officer and a Gentleman... However it's kind've given a slightly comical edge.
Clint is a majorally experienced Sergeant in the Marines and is busy getting himself into a lot of trouble when he gets transferred home.
There he is given a platoon of down and outers who have joined the Army cos they've got nothing better to do. The first half of the film details how Clint/Sergeant Gunny Highway trains these down and outers into an E-lite fighting force... The second half of the film, in similar fashion to films of this ilk, is all about the war in Grenada.
All I can say is if you've not seen it on TV before then buy it now. A brilliant film and a bargain at this price.
C.
