a real yawner

Rating: 1/10 (16 August 2007)

yawn.just thinking about this movie puts me to sleep.this is 170 minutes of your life you will never get back,so think carefully before attempting to watch this thing.as far as i can recall(and it does pain me to do so)there's virtually no action.unless soldiers walking through field is action.and once in a while,a shot is fired,and some grass flies in to the air,but that's it.i guess the movie is more about the psychological effects of war,and that's fine,but in my opinion,there should be some action as well,or at least some interesting dialogue.this movie gave me a headache and depressed me to no end.it's not for action buff,that much is certain.it's not my bag,that's for sure.for a realistic,riveting and exciting war movie,i'd recommend Saving Private Ryan.a word of warning though,it is brutally graphic in its realism.anyway,as for The Thin Red Line,i give it a 110
