What a disappointment!

Rating: 1/10 (21 September 1998)

A great disappointment, this film did nothing but rub our collective nose in the violence and cruelty of war. This we already know, thank you, Spielberg! Older and more sophisticated films used to contextualise war, giving us an insight into more important and valuable realities; friendship and loyalty for instance.
A great opportunity to explore the richness and complexity of war by one of our most entertaining and clever film directors has been sadly lost.
