This is the worst war movie in the history of film

Rating: 3/10 (15 March 2006)

Within 15 minutes of watching the mini-series Band Of Brothers, I felt connected to the characters. Within 5 minutes i felt an attachment in Platoon. In the opening scene of whistling troops heading into camp in The Bridge Over The River Kwai, I was hooked.
Even the poorer dramatic war films had me feeling a connection of some sort for the characters.
This film however was one big empty shell of nothingness. It took old clichÃ©s from old war movies like for one, Full metal Jacket, turned them into sleeping powder.. Old Sgt.. Ermey couldn't even get into this one.
I do understand what was supposed to be the point of the film. As an example Hamburger Hill had a far more bleak point. It wasn't supposed to be enjoyable, yet it was light years more enjoyable than this film
I've seen just about every war film ever made, foreign & USA made.This is just hands down, without a close second the very worst.
The cinematography & sets were nice, but this is expected in the days of CGI...
Don't waste your time, even when it comes to cable.
