One of the worst films in a long time

Rating: 1/10 (15 November 2004)

If you like seeing Nicholas Cage looking fatigued but resolute, interspersed with Nicholas Cage looking resolute but fatigued then you're in for a real treat. However you would be in for an even bigger treat if he could do it well.
100% dull and boring. 100% Hollywood sentimental bilge. 100% lacking in flow or story fabric.
I sat through this film marveling at the utter lack of direction. I was left speechless by the sheer sameness of the acting throughout. An epic venture in futility (which is about the only sense in which it captured the concept of war).
