I thought the war scenes were really gritty and depressing and overall really well done!<br />I enjoyed reading your thoughts!brookshttp://www.4everoverhead.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918892767071973314.post-38153541031198599152011-11-10T10:39:05.715-05:002011-11-10T10:39:05.715-05:00Thanks for this review.
