Hopper and Nicky parrot patriotic cliches about the war, stopping only once during the course of the movie--and then only briefly--to ponder the less glorified side of combat.

Dr. James Parkin, who is chief of surgery at the Utah medical center and will perform the implants, believes Ineraid would make it possible to restore the hearing of about 70% of the 500,000 deaf people in the U.S. who at present cannot...
