Too busy.

Rating: Null/10 (5 February 2002)

This movie had a little too much action for me. It seems the writers tried to pack too much into just one film. Had the film been centered around just one or two of the units involved in Operation Market Garden, it probably would have been better, and shorter. Also, I found myself wondering what was fact and what was fiction. Was there actually an occasion when a captain was shot in the head and his sergeant held a doctor at gun point until he would operate on him? Was Robert Redford's character based on a real person? Also, why did the bridge not blow up? If anybody knows, please e-mail me. However, the movie was not all bad. The action sequences, cinematography, and the costumes were very good. All the actors put on a fine performance too. Not bad for viewing once, but to pick up on everything, one will probably have to watch it twice.
