One of the worst movies ever made

Rating: 1/10 (17 January 2002)

It all starts out rather compellingly - a careerist lieutenant (Nick Nolte), a brash, battle hardened sergeant (Sean Penn), and a burned out grunt who's become a little too involved with the locals (James Caviezel). But the whole movie comes to a seemingly endless cavalcade of pretentious nothingness. Beautiful images float by in front of us for no reason, while junior high-level poetry emanates from actors who should know better. I don't get it. I don't want to get it. What a waste.
