I know some critics fell over themselves praising this movie, but I was very underwhelmed. I vastly respect the men who actually fought in one of the most terrible wars in history, but honestly, this movie falls short of honoring their memory. The acting is very rigid and I honestly had a hard time caring about him or his quest. When he finally delivers the messages, neither the colonel or his partners brother receive the news with much emotion. Rather anticlimactic. Good cinematography is the main reason I rated it as high as I did.
