Rating: 8 out of 10, a movie from my distant past that holds up well after all these years. I saw it shortly after I joined the military and it was interesting to see it again having spent my entire adult life in uniform. It’s a story of a young punk who finds redemption and love through the discipline and character forced on him through his entry into the military. It was kind of jarring to see Gere so young, but it’s a reminder of the intense promise he showed as a young actor. A great message about the need for enduring values in a complete person’s life.
MVP: Gossett in his Career Making role as Gunner Sergeant Foley
