And the award for Worst Picture of the year goes to...

Rating: 1/10 (28 July 1999)

Thin Red Line! The crowd goes wild! Ok, let me stop joking around. When I saw the trailer for TRL, I was impressed and said to myself "WOW, I gotta see this movie!". It had a superb all-star cast; Sean Penn, Woody Harrelson, Nick Nolte, George Clooney, John Travolta, etc.
I went with three of my friends to a SOLD OUT showing on its first day of release and with the exception of one of the war scenes and when Woody Harrelson blows off his butt, the movie was TERRIBLE. The beginning was too dragged out with narative that was cliche. I will admit that the cinematography was excellent, but that alone can't hold a movie together.
For me it was TOO much talk and NOT ENOUGH action. When I pay to see a war film, I wanna see dozens upon dozens of people getting blown to pieces. I want bullets flying every other minute and I want to see a hero with a big gun and a reason to come home. A BIG disappointment.
1 star and a 1 on the IMDB.
