	DVDFILE.COM: Hamburger Hill review
		Hamburger Hill contributed to this effort with its depiction of the battle for Hill 937.
		Hamburger Hill is occasionally entertaining and includes several solid performances, but one criticism of director John Irvin's film is its lack of fresh insight about Vietnam.
		Perhaps the lack of Vietnam War films after Hamburger Hill demonstrates how the subject was explored to the furthest extent possible, leaving little else to describe.

	Hamburger Hill : DVD : Review : War Movies
		Hamburger Hill never got classified as being among the best of the Vietnam War movies, but having seen it on a number of occasions it is fair to say it may have suffered from not being full of big-name stars.
		Hamburger Hill focuses on Bravo Company of the 101st Airborne and its attempts to take a piece of high ground known only as Hill 937.
		The sound on Hamburger Hill is very front oriented and it isn't until quite late in the movie that your surround will kick in as a couple of F4 Phantoms roar through to drop napalm.

		Comment: The most startling aspect of this gripping account of the 101st Airborne's assault on Hill 937 is that this was not even the bloodiest battle fought by the 101st in Vietnam.
		Hamburger Hill, as it came to be known, was arguably a defensible military move.
		From first scene to last, Hamburger Hill traces the rise and fall of their battle experience, from the horror of firefights to the camaraderie of men who've faced death and survived.

	'Hamburger Hill'
		"Hamburger Hill" tries to purify the war, to view it not as it was seen in "Platoon" or "Apocalypse Now," but as a noble struggle fought by men of honor.
		The sequence in which the men try to get their footing and fight their way up a hill that has turned entirely to mud after a torrential rainfall is like a Kafkaesque nightmare of futility.
		Hamburger Hill, at area theaters, is rated R and contains violent scenes of a deeply disturbing nature.

	TheHistoryNet \| Vietnam \| Battle for Hamburger Hill During the Vietnam War
		Hamburger Hill proved to be the telling battle of the Vietnam War, as Pork Chop Hill was for the Korean War.
		The public had turned against the war a year and a half earlier, and it was their intense reaction to the cost of that battle in American lives, inflamed by sensationalist media reporting, that forced the Nixon administration to order the end of major tactical ground operations.
		Officially Hill 255 (from its elevation in yards), it was dubbed Pork Chop Hill because of its geographic shape.

	Hamburger Hill -- The Real Story
		The hills gave way to ridgelines, cut with deep ravines, saddles, draws, and smaller hills.
		It was an area long occupied by the NVA and fortified with bunkers, spider holes, deep tunnels, trenches, and underground shelters for aid stations, Command Posts, and storage depots.
		The sound of artillery impacting on the hill, the ridges, and in the valleys and ravines was pleasing to the ear.

	Hamburger Hill DVD Review - www.impulsegamer.com -
		Hamburger Hill is the story of Airborne Company Bravo and their attempt to take a hill in Vietnam dubbed by the soldiers, "Hamburger Hill" for the way it minces human flesh.
		For the horror of war, this title has it's work cut out for it as despite the terror the real soldiers must have felt making their way up this hill of death, I am not sure that the campaign was enough to create a whole movie around it.
		For the latter part of the movie all we are doing is watching men struggle up a muddy hill, which does not compelling viewing make.

		The fight on Hamburger Hill occurred during Operation Apache Snow, the second part of a three-phased campaign intended to destroy NVA bases in the treacherous A Shau Valley.
		The dense jungle and the sharp relief of the hill attenuated the concentration of firepower, as did the enemy's well-prepared defenses.
		Hamburger Hill was so-named because the soldiers said the mountain "turned men into hamburger" during the battle.

		John Irvin's "Hamburger Hill" arrived on the heels of Oliver Stone's "Platoon," and somehow got lost in the rush of imitators.
		The death toll was so high that the survivors named the hill "Hamburger Hill." Shot in the Philippines, "Hamburger Hill" looks and feels authentic.
		While some scenes look flat and lack depth, the rest of the digital transfer of "Hamburger Hill" is a stunning collection of vivid images and outstanding color saturation.
