Sorry, no "thin red line" in The Thin Red Line

Rating: Null/10 (6 December 1999)

Sorry, this was a big disappointment. Enough said. It's the screenplay and the directing of it that fall apart. It just doesn't hold together - just doesn't have its own "thin red line". IMDb wants four lines at a minimum, so here goes. I don't think the movie warrants that much comment really. It's been a long time since Days of Heaven, and this is not Days of Heaven. But I don't think Malick realizes that - despite the twenty years in between.
