Terrible

Rating: Null/10 (30 March 2002)

SPOILERS.
A cliched and maudlin effort that is is apodictic is showing that Gibon's only piece de resistance is/and will be "Braveheart". Obviously the creators were trying to mix 1940s war-movie sentimentality with the quotidian sanguinary tumult that is needed to "authenticate" combat pictures today. Maybe in a black comedy such a farrago would have worked, but here is is simply banal.
Watch this film if you want to see how to make an endless battle scene boring. Maybe they could have cut a few shots of bullet-ridden bodies and spent some time explaining why they left these infantrymen with their asses in the wind when it was evident that all they needed to do was call in air strikes (copters/planes) to smoke the enemy.
