Movie - weak, plot - thin, characters - not believable, action - boring, actors' work - not interesting, director's work - not noticeable whatsoever.

Besides propaganda, what is the point of this movie?

Why would this movie win an Oscar? I'd like to see who voted for this so I could avoid movies voted for by the same people in the future.

What is the message of the movie and how it tries to communicate that message? Friendship? There is none. Helping each other when hurt? It's war, that is what every war is about. Taking unnecessary risks and surviving 837 (or whatever the number was) times? If that is the case, does this guy know something we don't? Maybe (though I seriously doubt it, I studied that exact subject extensively while in military) -- but even if that is the case, the movie fails to articulate it.

Unfortunately, overall -- waste of time.
