disappointing film!

Rating: 2/10 (10 January 2007)

I finally got to watch this movie a few days ago and I must say it was a bit disappointing. First, we have Alec Guinness who would rather suffocate in a small, hot room than allow his officers to build a bridge. when finally released and realizes the bridge won't be finished in time for the enemy's use, he allows his officers to work on it and even the men that are wounded to work on it.
THen... at the end of the film, he shows the enemy that there is a bomb under the bridge and almost messes up the entire thing.
What officer in the US army would do this? Doesn't make much sense to me. The film had its moments but one of the all-time best? no.
