To expand on my previous comment

Rating: 1/10 (11 November 2001)

I posted a comment on this movie, calling it the worst movie ever nominated for an oscar. I'd like to expand on that.
I did forget the one bright spot in this entire movie. John Cusack sweeps into the film, leads the men on for one interesting battle scene, sweeps out, and is never seen again. One reason the movie is so terrible is that it has this one bright spot where the pacing is adequate, and interesting things are happening.
Add to that, the fact that you can't tell any of the characters apart (deliberatly, I'm told, to emphasize the point that all men are every man, or that armies drain your humanity, or something) and the oh-so-long and dull nature shots, and you get the war movie that sets the record for least interesting movie ever made. And it's LONG.
