This movie is not for simple minded action fans

Rating: Null/10 (22 November 2001)

This movie isn't Saving Private Ryan, a "fun to watch action movie". Its not about a character, its not about a battle, its not about a love story. Its about the evil of man and war. Definately not a movie for simple-minded idiots. From some of the reviews I've read, I've come to the conclusion that a lot of people thought this was Saving Private Ryan part 2. This is the movie SPR wishes it could have been. Thats why so many big names are in it. Because its about something bigger than explosions and heroes. Its a very deep movie. If you don't have the patience or intelligence to understand it, don't even speak. On the other hand, if you want a beautiful, original, thought provoking, piece of art, watch this movie. Think about what its trying to say. Comparing this movie to Saving Private Ryan is like comparing Backstreet boys to Bob Dylan.
