Leave the writing to writers, the acting to actors

Rating: 6/10 (28 June 2017)

These days, any time you see a film with the phrase "based on a true story" you know it's Hollywood code for B.S. story, caricatures not characters and historical inaccuracies and/or outright lies.
The mistake the film (and clooney) makes, is to try and make a jolly jape, comedy out of what should have been quite a serious subject. Which you could have had some laughs with.
Yet another film where the true story would have been so much more interesting and compelling than stereotypes, infantile humour and glibness
I suspect in the film makers egos, they were making a classic war film like 'A Bridge to Far' or 'The Dirty Dozen' instead we get the 'Soppy Seven' good actors in search of a script.
Lazy story telling 6/10
