Clint Eastwood's "Heartbreak Ridge" uses an absolutely standard plot, and makes it special with its energy, its colorful characters and its almost poetic vulgarity.
Nothing in "Heartbreak Ridge" is subtle, and I wasn't surprised to learn that the shooting lasted less than eight weeks - lightning speed for a movie including basic training and combat scenes.

Comment: My review of "Heartbreak Ridge" is based on what I saw at the threatre, not the DVD release.
"Heartbreak Ridge", (named after a battle that took place during the 1950-1953 Korean War), was first supposed to be set in an Army Unit, but, the Army backed out, (too much foul language), so it has a Marine Corp setting.
Clint Eastwood is an older, (but not softer), Marine whose job it is too whip some new soldiers into shape.

His drinking has helped to destroy much of his life through numerous encounters with the law and a marital divorce in his past.
That, however, is minor in the plot of Heartbreak Ridge.
Heartbreak Ridge is littered with coarse joking, sexual innuendos, too much profanity to count, and some minor nudity in out-of-focus posters and Marines in their underwear.

 Heartbreak Ridge - Films on DVD and Video - MovieMail UK
Clint Eastwood takes a revisionist approach to his tough-guy persona once again in HEARTBREAK RIDGE.
As he had done in TIGHTROPE and PALE RIDER, and as he would do even more memorably in UNFORGIVEN, Eastwood probes beneath the surface of his prototypical character, a man who feels most at ease amid violence.
HEARTBREAK RIDGE is a deft blend of service comedy, action film, and, most surprisingly, a genuine adult love story, as Sergeant Highway tries, with touching earnestness, to win back the affections of his ex-wife (Marsha Mason), after his devotion to the corps has kept them apart for too many lonely years.
