A real disappointment!

Rating: Null/10 (31 May 2004)

This movie was very untruthful. Untruthful in many, many ways, the billing given to the major stars, that only appeared for two or three minutes in the film, the depiction of the after action scenes that showed the victors unnaturally intertwined with the vanquished, the disjointed voice-overs, and the many false characterization of men in combat.
The film tried depict war in all its gore and insanity and thus morph into an anti-war movie, but at the same time show the details of war as an impressionist painting of the lowest order. It failed in all its attempts.
A great disappointment for a film having so many accomplished actors who have contributed much to this genre in past performances.
