Cinematography At Its Best

Rating: 7/10 (1 June 2000)

THE THIN RED LINE * * * The first movie I've ever seen that I'd recommend solely for the cinematography. It's definitely not something you watch while while you're ironing or doing a crossword puzzle, since it doesn't give you a straight-forward story. The performances by Sean Penn and Jim Caveizel ("Frequency") are very good, but the star cameos (John Travolta, George Clooney, Woody Harrelson, etc) are distracting.
