MFT - Made For Teenagers

Rating: 4/10 (12 February 2017)

Watchable but don't expect Band of Brothers or Saving Private Ryan
A lot of clichés and over the top behavior about a conscientious objector. It's as if they were expecting none of their recruits needed to be medics.
Somehow the concie goes to war with his recruit platoon, seemingly without going anywhere for any medical training.
The first battle scenes could have been so good. But they were spoiled for me by fire pot explosions instead of high explosives. It would seem also that US soldiers thought it was a good idea to stand up and completely expose themselves to enemy fire.
Was looking forward to this because it's been nominated it must be good right. But oh dear. It's not Oscar material. But that does not matter as the Hollywood lovies always prefer to go mad about a film about themselves
Too syrupy for me. Spielberg and Hanks have spoiled me for realism
