Like everyone says, yes it was a beautifully shot film. Other than that, eh. The acting is terrible. These are the most forgettable characters of any blockbuster war film i remember. Not only is the plot boring, it goes from A to Z in the blink of an eye. I hate having to use the word "boring" to describe a film because normally that is too bleak of an explanation, but for this film, it is perfect. Will not be watching again. If war films such as Saving Private Ryan, Apocalypse Now, and Thin Red Line just among some didnt win best picture, i was very very relieved this one didnt.
