a complete STINKER

Rating: 1/10 (2 October 2007)

I did my best to watch this movie to the end. I couldn't make it. It was HORRIBLE. It has a star-studded cast full of famous actors who hate the military and everyone in it. If you like those lame scenes where a character is shown not speaking but you can hear his voice (supposed to be his thoughts) then you'll absolutely LOVE this sad turkey of a film.
This movie does what it can to portray every character who is a hard-working, loyal soldier, as being a jerk with evil motives. The one character who is made to look good is the one who goes AWOL and refuses to be part of a team.
This film was nominated for 7 Academy Awards. Not surprising, since the Academy never gets anything right. The big surprise is that this horrendous stinker of a film didn't actually win those 7 awards.
