Amazon.com essential video:
The controversial, Reagan-era invasion of Grenada by U.S. troops is, oddly enough, at the center of this initially interesting story of a seasoned Marine sergeant (Clint Eastwood) routinely insulted by younger officers for being a symbol of the war that America 'lost' in Vietnam. Looking for both a victory and a little redemption, Eastwood's character trains a squadron of scrappy pups and turns them into fighting grunts, just in time to follow White House orders and take the little island. Marsha Mason plays Eastwood's love interest, and Mario Van Peebles is funny as an undisciplined con artist who joins Clint's men and finally catches the spirit after getting his butt kicked a few times. --Tom Keogh

Rating: - Does the corps proud, and unproud
I was serving in the Marine Corps when this first came out. Many of us used to kick back and jeer at the discrepancies in it.

Rating:  - Good, though not great, Eastwood...
I have been going through the Clint Eastwood catalog over and over again (and I have seen everything he's directed!), and I rewatched this recently. I didn't care for it the first time I saw it, and my first opinion still stands. It's not a terrible movie (it is a Clint Eastwood film), but it's very conventional, predictable, and a bit tired too. It's still head and shoulders above most filmmakers' best work, as Eastwood is an artist and great craftsman so even his lesser work is still worth watching. ... Read More
Rating: - Surprising movie
The movie is a surprise. It is not all violence. Instead it is mostly light humor coupled with a underlying love story. Violence is at a minimum. Enjoyed the movie every time I have watched it.
Rating:  - HEARTBREAK RIDGE
THIS WAS AN EXCELLENT MOVIE AND SINCE THEY DO NOT PLAY IT ON TV ENOUGH, I THOUGHT THAT OWNING IT WOULD BE A GREAT IDEA. YOU COULDN'T ASK FOR A BETTER PRICE. IT WAS A GREAT DEAL!!

He's been looking for this movie for years, so when he told me he wanted it, I hopped on Amazon and found it immediately. Thanks for the Prompt service and great selection of movies.
