Unsubtle unspeakable drivel

Rating: Null/10 (9 August 2002)

The Thin Red Line is criminally trite. Show a horrific fighting scene, then show with your next shot a close up of nature at its most beautiful. Once it could work, but throughout the film...please! As for the voiceovers it is irrelevant that they may be from the book - they may work in that medium but in a film they simply sound patronising to an already patronised audience.
