Editorial Reviews

Though the anti-war sentiments of Hamburger Hill come through loud and clear, the film is squarely on the side of those courageous, much-maligned Americans who fought and died in Vietnam. Based on a true incident, the story takes place in 1969, as the 101st Airborne Division confronts the Vietcong in a bloody battle over Hill 937 (aka "Hamburger Hill") in the Ashua Valley. During the next 10 days, both sides incur heavy losses, but the Cong refuse to surrender the hill. The ultimate American "victory" turns out to be a hollow one indeed. Scripted by Vietnam war vet Jim Carabatsos, Hamburger Hill not only underlines the futility of the war but also the pressures brought to bear upon the troops by an insensitive, often hostile media. By utilizing a cast of unknowns, director Jim Irvin deftly avoids the Hollywoodized slickness of such bigger-budgeted efforts as Apocalypse Now and The Deer Hunter. Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

January 07, 2009: Probably the best Vietnam war movie out there. This movie was not bogged down with all the anti American, lets go to Vietnam to smoke weed crap you seen in other movies. Instead, the movie shows you how the peace lovin tree huggin hippies effected the troops in the field. It shows how racial hatred was overcame. It focuses on the common foot soldier. No political slant.

The review on Wikipedia is a pretty accurate one:

June 01, 2008: Can Not compare 4th. of july to this Movie. Maybe what it does wrong it presents the movie a as documentary. But if any of you guys care to read something about history "maybe u learn somethin in process" Then you will realize that this film is as true and authentic as the fallen trees on the side of the Hill. The 4th. is propaganda and only wanted to portrait the Vets as murders, drug heads etc.
