A good laugh afterwards

Rating: 1/10 (24 February 2002)

When I went to see this movie I thought `great! Josh, Ewan two of my favourites' when I went out I was thinking `WHAT WAS THE POINT!'
I have previously said that I would not comment on movies I thought were bad because I think they are a waste of time. I have now changed my opinion. I do not want you all to suffer and pay to watch a ridiculously stupid movie.
Okay it starts of good. Then it gets pathetic.
For one thing there are so many characters, you do not connect with any of them. One character calls his wife/girlfriend. We don't know who he is, what he want's with this woman, and how it has any importance in the movie. Another guy says he cannot go back in and another soldier tells him a speech of how everyone is in the same boat as he is and there scared. Then they look at each other and nod. I'm sitting in the cinema thinking `What? Did I miss something?'
What the hell was Ewan McGregor role. He did the movie Moulin Rouge, then he want's to do a masculine movie. So he goes into this movie, and all he does is make coffee. HELLO?!
There is this scene were a soldier sees a hand of a man with a watch. The solder picks it up and puts it in his pocket. I'm sitting there thinking, `What is he going to do with it?' keep it as a souvenir? Give it to the man's wife? The poor lady would freak.
Another stupid thing is that they would get the bodies of dead soldiers, and put them in the truck/trailers  whatever they are called, and the living people would be in danger by running outside.
There is this guy that gets captured and he is in the prison. In the movie we do not see if he is rescued or if any think of him. He just gets captured and that's it. WHAT THE HELL!!!
The sad scenes are so predicable. I was laughing during those scenes.
I left the movie thinking if that was based on a true story....
God this movie really was stupid.
