Bravery Under Duress

ByStella Carrieron March 20, 2017

Format: Amazon VideoVerified Purchase

Courage Under Fire stars Denzel Washington as Lieutenant Colonel Nathaniel Serling, Regina Taylor as Meredith Serling,Meg Ryan as Captain Karen Emma Walden, Lou Diamond Phillips as Staff Sergeant John Monfriez, Matt Damon as Specialist Andrew Ilario, Scott Glenn as Washington Post Reporter Tony Garten (as well as more actors/actresses featured in the film). I admit that it was an easy decision for me to check out the Courage under fire film because of the Magnificent Film that I saw last year that featured Denzel Washington (I went by the recommendation of a female coworker who admires Washington as an actor), and other actors/actresses in the Magnificent film. Nathaniel Serling has a challenging job of making sure to uncover the truth around what happened to Captain Walden while also balancing his family life with his wife Regina Serling who is naturally concerned about him. Andrew Ilario is one of the first men that Serling questions due to the fact that he was there and up close to Walden when certain events happened. Serling has an uncomfortable encounter with Monfriez that has him wondering why he is so defensive about what happened to Walden. Serling is also trying to sort out his own personal feelings around a recent event that happened when he gave out an order to Sergeant Patella (Sean Astin) that went much differently than planned. Nathaniel has to deal with all of this while also making sure to professionally and maturely handle himself around Washington Post Reporter Tony Gartner.

WOULD SOMEONE BE WILLING TO EXPLAIN THE MYSTERY TO ME?

ByLanna S. Seureton July 19, 2017

Format: Amazon VideoVerified Purchase

This film is a fine showcase for a courageous officer (Denzel Washington) to live by his values: he, even though under query by his senior officer
refuses to just pass on a recommendation for a medal of courage for another officer ( Meg Ryan) who was fatally injured by enemy attack (Gulf War) after her rescue helicopter was shot down.

SPOILER: The clues Denzel uncovers are from her crew who survived: one went AWOL, another was secretive, very angry, and soon committed
suicide in an eye popping run in with a train, actually witnessed by Washington. and another whose memory was unclear due to the trauma. The only discrepancy I could discern was that Lou Diamond Phillips (the angry suicide) said he was the one who thought of overboarding the drum of
napalm over the enemy camp and firing it with a pistol,destroying the tank and many lives, while Matt Damon (the seeming poor memory) reported
that Meg Ryan was the one who knew to do it,even while under great duress when her pilot was shot in the head, and she had to take over under fire.

The premise of the story was good, the acting excellent by everyone, the direction very good as to keep interest, and keep us awake, he flash backed the story those who were being interviewed by Washington told, so it stayed very fresh.

So, does it really matter whose idea it was to "bomb" the enemies on the ridge? A crew consists of real people with various experiences; the captain's job is to use good ideas and keep everyone focussed and alive, right? In the end, she did a lot to keep them alive, and refused to leave,
I'm guessing, because she was painfully and fatally wounded, and knew she would slow anyone down who had to carry her.

I just missed the point. Hopefully, one of you who understands this better than I will put me out of this misery.

Note: Removed one star just because it wasn't clear, and I wanted to be heard for my own experience.

A painfully beautiful inquiry into the truths of warfare...

ByDaham Suraweeraon July 16, 2013

Format: Amazon VideoVerified Purchase

I first saw this movie at around age 16, and thought it was "cool", but was unable articulate the emotion I felt at the time of that first viewing. Since then, I have held this movie in high-esteem. Now, at age-33, and with intimate knowledge of the struggles faced by those we hurl into battle-fields, I can only describe this movie as a painfully beautiful inquiry into the truths of warfare that are so often buried in the chasm of our military's public presentation. Those who describe this as "action packed" are sorely mistaken. This is an intense, well-scripted drama, that sees Denzel in his prime, and Meg Ryan offer the best performance of her career. It is a tribute to the silent fallen, that is as relevant today as it was in 1995.

The Face of Guilt

Byglory beon October 28, 2014

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

Courage Under Fire is the story of several people who are not dealing with their feelings of guilt. Denzel Washington lives with the fact that he fired upon the tank of his best friend killing all those in the tank. A medivac helicopter is shot down and the Captain (Meg Ryan) does all that she can to keep her crew alive and alert. As they come under fire the crew want to make a run for it but the Captain lets them know that she is still in charge and no one is going anywhere.

It is Denzel Washington who is given the task of investagating the Captain to see if she should be awarded the Medal of Honor. As he questions the crew it becomes clear that they are being evasive and he searches for the truth.

Edward Zwick is really good directing this kind of movie. Meg and Denzel are the perfect pair for this story. The rest of the helicopter crew including Matt Damon, play their parts with incredible realism.

the cast makes this movie wonderful

Bygcal504on December 10, 2016

Format: Amazon VideoVerified Purchase

mr Bernabo got this right 16 years ago. Ms Ryan's "best" movie .though "Proof of Life" was not bad (despite the nonsense with mr Crowe)....With all the work mr Damon and mr Washington have done .....this is among their best movies. Damon shows he can carry the role of a troubled character..The acting is superb in this movie on virtually everyone's part...mr Glenn, ms Taylor, and mr Phillips especially. the movie was very good....mr Moriarity did his best work here,other than in "Bang the Drum Slowly".
