What is the point of this film?

Rating: 7/10 (1 January 1999)

Some films make you laugh, or cry, or they shock you into thinking,or whatever, this just makes you go urrgh! Graphic violence to no particular end other than this "freak out the audience" factor. Nevertheless, it's well made, well acted and is moving, but for some bizarre reason Spielberg is overcome by a massive need for a disgracefully cheesy ending which, quite frankly, does make you look at the rest of the film in a different light.
