Would MUCH rather have watched a documentary on the same events

Rating: 2/10 (5 August 2014)

Well, the summary pretty much says it all; I would much rather have watched a documentary on the same events, as this movie adaptation falls WAY short of being either sufficiently serious to lure out any empathy or sufficiently funny for it to provide comic relief in what was no doubt meant to portrait the brutal and cynical actions and events during the end of WWII. No attempts were successful - and I can say this without having any idea of the purpose of the movie, because it holds absolutely nothing of value, except a cast who's attendance will have cost something in the vicinity of the art presented in the film. A fine wast of time for a cast of fine actors, who should no doubt have spent their time better on other projects. A documentary would have told the story better and with less confusion as to how the director wanted to present the events. Hollywood textbook mess-up.
