Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Hamburger Hill is worth clearing space for. The choreography in Hamburger Hill serves the story instead of interrupting it. The men of Bravo Company are facing a battle that's all uphill… up Hamburger Hill. Fourteen war-weary soldiers are battling for a mud-covered mound of earth so named because it chews up soldiers like chopped meat. They are fighting for their country, their fellow soldiers and their lives. Dylan McDermott and Steven Weber lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 1987. The geography of every set piece in Hamburger Hill is legible, which is rarer in the genre than it should be. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

The genre has a long history of front-loading its best moments — Hamburger Hill is not one of those. It does not lean on comparisons to make its case. The complete film is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Dylan McDermott brings a physicality to the role that elevates every set piece. Action that earns its sequences rather than just delivering them.
