film with potential, ruined by sloppiness

Rating: Null/10 (8 July 2000)

At first glance, I thought this movie was going to be good. Then as I watched for awhile, my brain was twisted into a mush by the nonsensical rantings of the narrators. Sometimes it was deep in thought and helped along the mood, but other times it was completely uneccesary, and didn't make sense. I consider myself as a pretty good movie analyzer, and I couldn't make sense of a lot of things. Sometimes the movie just became slow and dull and didn't keep me captivated. All you beatniks out there can say what you will about it being deep and portraying the human emotions, and how man copes with is environment, but you don't have me suckered. I like a deep movie that takes a lot of thought, but no matter how much you think, insanity does not make sense. I give this 6/10 for effort and because I like war movies. P.S. George Clooney was in the movie for not even 5 minutes. I was pleased
