Not quite as good as Saving Private but still a must see.

Rating: Null/10 (3 January 1999)

TTRL opened in selected cities like L.A. and N.Y. The nearest screening of the movie was three and a half hours away, and boy was it worth every mile. The Thin Red Line, one of two world war 2 movies released for the 98 season. The other being Saving Private Ryan. Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan, and Malik's Thin Red Line are both possibilities for this year's Oscars. TTRL was a great movie, it was poetic, it had heart, and fine performances. TTRL was an unforgettable movie that gave you images of war you wished you hadn't seen. Kudos to the job well done to the great performances by Nick Nolte. I've never seen him so fired up. He sure does deserve a nomination at the Oscars.
