The end ruined it for me

Rating: 8/10 (1 November 1999)

I started watching this film and after 5 minutes I was thinking what rating I would give this film and five minutes into the film I was thinking "10". The scenes of graphic violence (limbs missing etc.) considering the amount of violence on our screens today was truly horrific and made even my stomach churn. But somehow it wasn't enough, somehow it didn't make war seem as pointless as say Platoon, where the Drill Sergeant really made the men feel like worms but it was for their benefit. But this film did not either lift me at the end nor leave me flat out on the ground in the end it was an "8".
