Extremely well made and thought provoking, “Rules of Engagement” examines both military and media behavior under the stress of combat. The film also reveals how politicians control military actions and how many in places of political power are willing to sacrifice a devoted man for the sake of expediency. However, the realistic violence and excessive profanity make it unsuitable for family viewing. Although men in combat use extreme language, not every film about wartime must incorporate such obscenity to further the story. Case in point: “The Great Escape” and “The Longest Day” – both great wartime adventures with nary a misuse of God’s name.
