What's not to like?

Rating: 10/10 (12 July 2000)

This is a very good film. I had no problem making the transitions that this movie made from action to inner thoughts and the natural surroundings. In no way did I find this movie "unwatchable" as so many have said in earlier comments. To the contrary, I found this film to be finely crafted and very entertaining. There seems to be a great divide between those who absolutely hate this movie and those who believe it is the most beautiful movie ever made. I don't belong in either of those camps. All I know is that The Thin Red Line is memorable, poignant, moving, and I believe it will eventually be recognized as such by most.
