A real big disappointment.

Rating: 5/10 (9 January 2000)

Never have I been so disappointed in a war movie. Sean Penn was totally unbelievable as a Master Sgt. The flashback/dreamscenes were an annoyance. The beginning of the film was a total waste of time. The scenes between Nolte and Travolta were almost comical. I couldn't follow what was supposed to be happening. i.e. John Savages' character. The only redeeming value I could find in the film, was Nick Noltes' acting. On a scale of 1 to 10 this is at most a 5. This is the only war movie that I have ever quit watching. During the scenes of their R & R, I got up an went to my PC and started playing solitaire.
