Plot: After the Gulf War Lt. Colonel Nathan Serling returns home knowing he had accidentally destroyed one of his own tanks. The army covers up the incident and he is assigned to investigate a female pilot who is about to receive the Medal of Honour.
Following the 1991 Gulf War, Lieutenant Colonel Nathaniel Serling (Denzel Washington) is assigned to review the background of the late Captain Karen Walden (Meg Ryan), who has been posthumously nominated for a medal of honor. While investigating Walden's candidacy, Serling is forced to face his own disillusionment and guilt surrounding the war. As he begins the interviewing process, he uncovers several inconsistencies in the stories told by the late pilot's crew. The three officers, who may or may not have been saved by the captain's actions, all give drastically different accounts of the events leading up to Walden's death. Ilario (Matt Damon) paints Walden as an unselfish, courageous hero, while the surly Monfriez (Lou Diamond Phillips) describes her as a crybaby and a coward. The third soldier, Altameyer (Seth Gilliam), lies dying in an army hospital, mumbling guilty confessions in a medicated haze. Similar to the storytelling technique used in Akira Kurosawa's RASHOMON, director Edward Zwick's COURAGE UNDER FIRE features each officer's account of the fateful incident reenacted onscreen, offering wildly diverse portrayals of Walden. Meg Ryan shines in a role that demands she play one character a multitude of ways. As Serling pieces together the radically different tales of combat, he uncovers the painful truth and simultaneously faces his own pent-up guilt regarding the war.
Advantages: Good film with excellent special effects Disadvantages: none
...good and evil, but with cutting edge special effects and action scenes galore this is a great film to watch.
The blu-ray version i watched was a 2 disc set with the second disc full of extras. There was a section on the history of transformers, and interviews with executive producers Steven Spielberg and Brian Goldner, writers Alex Kurtzman and Robert Orci, and director Michael Bay. There were also features on the animation used and the way they worked out where to do scenes. You also get a look at the military equipment seen and used in the film.
This additional information is something you do not want to skip over, because it gives you a much deeper understanding of how much planning and work went into the final production. If you are into cutting edge special effects and head banging action then beg, borrow, rent, or if that fails buy...

Advantages: A good story, lots of action, moving Disadvantages: Not many, see review..
..., but with the guilt of feeling that this was his fault, he returns home, suffering terrible nightmares & acting strange around his young family. Worse still, he develops a drinking problem. He is moved away from the action & a new assignment is then found for him?
A posthumous medal of honour is being considered by the Whitehouse for a commander, killed during conflict. A number of soldiers on the ground survived the battle, they believe, because of the helicopter that the commander was in. The matter is given further attention as it is the first female, Captain Karen Walden (Meg Ryan) to be nominated for such an award for her participation in conflict - 'courageunderfire'. Serling is brought in to conduct an inquiry on the award. Consequently he finds himself investigating what really happened on the day she was killed. At first...
