I wish I was playing Russian Roulette

Rating: 2/10 (27 December 2002)

I have seen and enjoyed many long movies before, but dear God this was absolute trash. We have three blue collar friends who up and join the Army to fight in Vietnam, they get sent to different units and coincidentally end up on the same battlefield. That probably took no more then 30 minutes but I would swear it seems like 90. Robert DeNiro doesn't recognize his friends at first, somehow he just has lost it, never an explanation. They get captured, play russian roulette, escape, Christopher Walken gets left behind, blah, blah, blah. I think the movie clocks in at around 2.5-3 hrs. but I swear it feels not like hours but more like days. An absolutely putrid movie not worth the cellanoid it is printed on.
