One of my favorite third acts

From the moment they start up that rope ladder, I become totally entrenched in the action, and the lulls, and the ultimate payoff (Dawes trying to get “one more”).
I really enjoy the film as a whole, but whenever it comes on TV, I only need to watch the last 45 minutes to get my money’s worth. And it gets me every time.

Got me again this evening.
Great action, great drama.
Genuine satisfaction.

It's amazing in the movie, and was in real life. It makes you wonder how many of those guys would have died if they had succeeded in chasing Doss out of the Army.
