Interesting story, disappointing execution

Rating: 4/10 (25 July 2015)

This film had a great cast, the script was fairly good, but the execution was lousy. There were lots of funny moments that just weren't pulled off in a way that made them memorable.
Perhaps the problem was that the film tried to take on too many different genres. It seemed to be stuck between a historical war movie, a silly comedy and a feel good hero movie.
Even though there were a lot of great actors in the movie, there was too much jumping around to let the actual characters come through. Also the story seemed a bit disjointed, even if it was being accurately told, it didn't build suspense or flow in a way that kept you interested.
