Possibly one of the worst war movies I have ever seen. Very weak almost non existent story line (if you can call a couple of men walking through the countryside to get from A to B with minimal interaction a story line). Acting was so so but not much for them to really act on. By comparison Gallipoli (Mel Gibson) - similar story about two men trying to get a message to the troops, and Saving Private Ryan. Both those movies are or were Oscar worthy and amazing, not this. I have no idea what has gotten into the Academy these past few years.
