Joel Schumacher? (sp?)

Rating: 8/10 (5 January 2002)

Well, like others, I was amazed that this was directed by Schumacher. The film really gave me a sense of how horrified and terrified and hysterical I would feel if I had to go to war. Farrell, in particular, did very well with both the accent and his performance. But the whole cast were excellent. I totally felt their panic and ever-increasing hysteria. And the worst thing about the story was that they never even showed the war. All that horror happened before they even got there. I thought the best part was when they showed the 'unofficial' use for the radio and Buzz asked "Why would I want to learn how to do that to another human being?"
