Was this a good film or not?

Rating: Null/10 (10 December 2001)

For a new release, the DVD had a pretty reasonable price, but I wanted to find out more about the movie before spending my money. I had really hoped for a movie on the level of say Saving Private Ryan, as the movie trailers led me to believe, but I now understand that this is not such a film. There are a lot of reviews, here, but none of them really gave what I consider to be an intelligent or convincing argument as to whether this IS or IS NOT worth viewing. Perhaps the following will be of some help to others who, like myself, want to make an informed decision before watching or purchasing this film. In the margin to the left, click on External Reviews, then click on Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times for an insightful review on this film. I will probably just rent it, now, rather than buy it.
