Rating: 1/10 (9 February 1999)

You know that you've wasted your money watching a dramatic war movie when you feel no remorse or sadness for any of its characters.
My wife and I went to see The Thin Red Line. She fell asleep in the first 20 minutes. How the hell can you fall asleep during a war movie?
I never felt close to any of the characters. I even laughed at one soldier's situation with his wife.
It was certainly a waste of $14 that I could have saved for another viewing of "Saving Private Ryan."
Whatever you do... wait for video on this so you can fastforward through all of the senseless garble and flashbacks that are used for effect in this movie. That way you don't waste your life away (believe me... it was only three hours, but I was sure it lasted a lifetime!)
