The Thin Plotted Red Line

Rating: 6/10 (19 January 1999)

I so much wanted to like this movie. There were a number of good performances, especially Nick Nolte, but this movie tried to say too much without saying anything about its one-dimensional characters. Wait for the video - and go rent Platoon, Born on the Fourth of July or Full Metal Jacket. It was a great looking movie, but that was about it. Tedious and I never thought I'd use this adjective for a flick... pompous. 6 outta 10.
