Just finished watching UNDER HEAVY FIRE, a few minutes ago, and still have tears in my eyes. We rented this from Net Flix and if you can get a copy of it, take the time to watch. Didn't know what to expect. Lee and I were both touched by the story. This movie received reviews on both ends of the spectrum, but as I stated, we thought it was worth watching.
The story is told in flashbacks, by the surviving members of Echo Co, along with their captain, who go back to Vietnam with a documentary crew. Was not expecting the ending...
Here's more info for you:
