First review ever. Short and sweet. I went to view the visual masterpiece in hopes of being in awe. I wasn't impressed. It was interesting, but not enough to wow me or any of the others in the half filled theater. Based on a true story to some degree, but really lacking. I never felt drawn in emotionally like many other good war films. It wasn't bad by any means, I just think most people would place this near the bottom of the top 25 war movies. Clichés abound. Above average war torn scenery. Two or three intense scenes. I struggled with a 7 but feel like it deserved extra for the cinematography alone.
