grossly overrated

Rating: 3/10 (22 November 2003)

The occasional standout performance (none from the principals) can't change the fact that, as a whole, THIS MOVIE IS BAD.
The story is true, and deserves a better telling than this. Kubrick is so hamfisted in this picture, I'm tempted to theorize it was actually directed by his Evil Twin Skippy(tm).
War is hell. This movie is almost as bad.
