While this is no Saving Private Ryan it is visually astounding

Rating: 8/10 (10 May 2000)

While this movie doesn't develop characters the same way that Private Ryan does it tells a story in a unique and sometimes mesmerizing way. While one reviewer said that it was like watching pain dry--I must agree that it is not fast paced or your typical war movie but can be appreciated for is visual mastery and unusual storytelling.
