Beautifully made piece of rubbish.

Rating: Null/10 (10 June 2004)

Magnificent cinematography, special effects, costumes, attention to detail - everything. The forest scenes are truly beautiful. The snow and cold are magnificently done. The acting, such as it is, is OK. All is comparable, if not even perhaps better, than even "Private Ryan".
Everything is perfect. Until to you come to the storyline, which somehow seems more important, don't you think? A tragic return to the "We are all good guys, they are all bad guys" mentality.
I'd hoped that this sort of mentality had died in the 1960s, with things like the dreadful "Combat". Regrettably, it seems that it hasn't. Even John Wayne in "Longest Day" had more credibility than this.
