failed in every level

Rating: 2/10 (21 February 2015)

I cannot believe that the same man behind this also created a masterpiece like "Letters from Iwojima"
First of all I am not aware of the true story this is based on, so I will only talk about what the movie gave me.
I am not gonna accuse this movie for propaganda cause I don't believe there is any. It is just a mess of a film. Not sure what Clint had in mind but nothing seems accomplished. The hero's characterization is shallow. The war scenes have the impact of passing a COD level.
There is nothing here.. nothing.. its like if a mindless person joins the army and stays there till he passes the final level of dealing with the enemy sniper. This seems to be the main focus of the movie, the duel with the enemy sniper.
Wanna see how war fraks up soldiers? Wanna see what kind of hell war is? Just watch Flags of our Fathers and Letters from Iwojima. Two movies also by Clint Eastwood.
