Full of stars but dull

Rating: 5/10 (3 February 2009)

Recap: A bomber pilot tries desperately to be grounded and escape missions, as his commanding officers repeatedly raises the requirement to be rotated out. He tries to be declared crazy only to be denied as only sane people want to be declared crazy to escape war. Stuck in his outfit he is forced to see the war go crazy about him as it turns into a private enterprise of his mess officer...
Comments: Full of very known actors, quite a few that I found it hard to recognize (as I think of them as they look now), it is fun to see how they looked and what they did (a lot) earlier in their careers. The movie also has a few points to make of war, and cynicism in general.
The main benefit however is a few scenes that are quite funny. These are gems in a desert though, as the movie is far too slow, stretched out for its material. Mostly it became pretty dull, to be honest.
5/10
