Visually Stunning

Rating: 9/10 (12 March 1999)

This was one of the long-awaited movies, seeing the return of Terrence Malick. The photography and camera-work are second-to-none with great effects, including one where a bullet seems to miss the camera by inches. Nick Nolte is fantastic, a real soldier. Other cameos from Woody Harrelson and George Clooney help to give an extra lift to the film, making it a thoroughly enjoyable watch spanning 3 hours.
