Sinopses(1)
There are no wars to fight. But Gunnery Sgt. Tom Highway (Clint Eastwood), a dog-faced relic of past wars, still has a lot of fight in him. Besides playing "Gunny," Eastwood also directs and produces this tale of a Marine Corps lifer who, starting his last tour of duty before retirement, sees the bumpy road his life has taken become more complicated, due to feisty recruits (Mario Van Peebles among them), by-the-book officers and a salty ex-wife (Marsha Mason) to whom he's still attracted.

Something between Full Metal Jacket and G.I. Jane, but lacking the raw war setting of the former and the tough abandon and testosterone of the latter. Clint Eastwood is a cool tough guy and his fights the pumped-up Marines are cool to watch, but the action itself (especially the final set piec) is one big confusing mess. I don't know what Eastwood (behind the camera) was playing at, but the result is a failure that completely misses the mark as a simulation of combat. The slightly satirical subtext and plenty of one-liners are cool and mostly spot-on and funny in the given situation. Everett McGill trained his toughness and arrogance here for Under Siege 2, where he is even better and cooler by several notches.

I thought Clint Eastwood would come up with a military blockbuster that will make me laugh as it happened perhaps only with the M.A.S.H. 4077. But it’s still not a bad movie. Heartbreak Ridge has a classic idea, a classic rendition, just as classic course and an even more classic conclusion. In fact, it’s all absolutely average. This is improved by Clint Eastwood himself, who as a sergeant employed certain slightly harsh methods, and his platoon ignored him. This creates a lot of good but also bad situations and the biggest problem lies with the platoon. I couldn’t stand those guys. The actors portrayed them as a band of usual douchebags in a way that I had to root for Clint, who at least kept showing some effort throughout the film.
