Time to dump this formula!

Rating: 1/10 (20 February 2002)

This is the most contrived war movie in a long time. Unimaginitive storyline, unrealistic characters, and godawful dialog make this movie painful to sit through. By the looks of "We were soldiers", it seems that Hollywood unfortunately hasn't learned its lesson from The Patriot and is still trying to find ways to recycle the Braveheart plot formula.
