Yet another bad Brucheimer movie

Rating: Null/10 (13 January 2002)

I heard this movie was on some people's top ten list. Is that the ten worst list? I thought this was supposed to be a departure for Brucheimer? It had a lot of the same nonsense that you would find in "Armaggedon" or "Pearl Harbor". Just when I would start to get into it, they would throw in something really corny. Some ridiculous speech. Or some sentimental nonsense. It wasn't gritty and real. There were all these stupid "movie moments". And come on, every guy that gets injured begs to get back in the action.
The acting wasn't that great. Tom Sizemore chews more scenery than Godzilla ever did. And like a lot of people said, character development is so weak, you don't really care about these guys. The musical score was pretty bad. Usually I don't notice the score of a film, but there were times where the music would stick out like a sore thumb. This movie wants to be Saving Private Ryan & Three Kings, but it fails.
