Disappointing

Rating: 4/10 (22 September 2002)

Somehow I was hoping for more here. The movie was just less...mature than I thought it would be, dickering around with a tacked on love story, shallow characters, and a bunch of people doing exactly the wrong thing at exactly the wrong moment to get themselves killed. Not to mention a fleet of bombers who apparently only flew overhead when it was going to serve the plot in someway. I was hoping for fewer cliches and a grim gripping WWII thriller. What I got instead was an unevenly paced mess. Like the title says, disappointing. And not even in the same league with a movie like Saving Private Ryan.
