Whenever a war movie purports to be serious yet finds a way to show off some buff naked guy, it's a clear hint that you're not watching a sincere film, you're watching garbage

Rating: 1/10 (1 December 2019)

Like honestly, was showing the naked guy in the bunkhouse necessary? And I guess they just happened by coincidence to make the one with the most well built physique naked for a prolonged scene - how gratuitous and disgusting.
The only thing the lead character ever says about his father is that he's a drunk and abuser. So where's the Christian compassion and forgiveness for his father and first world war veteran who's obviously suffering from post-traumatic stress? Some Christian. His Dad was firmly against his son going to war out of concern for his health and safety. You'd think his son, who is a pacifist, would appreciate that. Some pacifist.
Vince Vaughn was also unconvincing (but kinda funny) as the drill sergeant (or whatever he was). The lead actor (forgot his name) was ok, but would it matter how good these actors are anyway in a movie with every known cliché and formula in the book from a director who uses cheap images and ideas to pretend he's profound? Oh wow, more gore, well how innovative. It's like Gibson et al watched Saving Private Ryan, Full Metal Jacket, Platoon, Rambo, Blackhawk Down, Jarhead, and a Call of Duty game or two and then said, "ok let's do all that, except make it bloodier....oh! and we need to have the most muscular guy naked too-like in Rambo."
A completely overrated yawn of a movie from a self-important "director" who hasn't made a good film, or been in a good film, since Braveheart. This movie is yet one more indication that current Hollywood, and the critical establishment, is showing its age and something else needs to happen.
