I'm reading the book right now but you definitely need to see the movie. Doesn't really bother with character development per se but does have good characters.

And Barry Pepper is a God in my eyes. " What I mean, sir, is if you was to put me with this here sniper rifle anywhere up to and including one mile from Adolf Hitler... with a clean line of sight... well, pack your bags, boys. War's over."

He's just as good..... as he was there.

Wasn't that the line used by Pepper in Saving Private Ryan?

I thought it sounded familiar and I haven't seen We Were Soldiers.

Pepper was the sniper in the bell tower that prayed before every shot. Great character.

it's a good movie. like bayliss said, not much character development, but i thought it was good.

i swear barry pepper (a shorter, thinner, dirk) is in every war movie! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

he plays a reporter in this one.
