Should be called "The LONG Red Line" - A great cure for insomnia

Rating: Null/10 (11 July 2003)

Rented this one because of Sean Penn, who was good in "Sweet and Lowdown" and okay in "I Am Sam."
Think "Apocalypse Now" with no memorable scenes and a less interesting premise, and you've got this one. Easily one of the most boring movies I've ever seen. Three hours down the tubes - don't wars usually have the occasional BATTLE?
Long stretches of inaction are fine if there's some kind of payoff at the end, or even some underlying message. This one's a lemon.
