The story has been told many times over of a rough tough unconventional leader shaping up a rag tag misfit group into a cohesive force to be reckoned with. Many times using unconventional or vary conventional ways. Not only in the military field but also many other fields. So it is more the delivery than the story that one would want to watch this movie for.
Marine sergeant (Clint Eastwood) facing retirement and trying to cope with a failed marriage and ex wife is tasked with turning a rag tag bunch of individuals into marines. He is hampered by self glorification self credit seeking people on all sides. If he fails many will die. So will he succeed and if so at what cost?

yes probably the most enduring memory I have of this movie is when the platoon all chant Suede and the big guy comes in to fight Clint. Of course he gets his ass handed to him but at least he tried. a very good film, which is very eay to watch and is rewatchable.
I reccomend it (there is no higher accolade)
