Good but NOT great

Rating: Null/10 (29 February 2004)

Too many slips and instances of equipment, etc. not available during the period. Although the cast is better suited than the 1964 version and does a better acting job. Color over the original B&W certainly adds some enhancement to the film. The director probably doesn't realize there was no Air Force until 1947, far after the war was over. Not really a great piece of work that demands your total attention. Some day perhaps Clooney will be the tough, action hero he sees in himself, although I doubt it. To be fair, I watched this film on the USA channel and the commercials were a pain. I was just as glad to be done with this film as the persons it portrayed were to get out of the line and on to something better.
