For once, what we've got here is an American "war" film that has a strong moral conscience and avoids the standard dehumanizing film stereotypes of Middle Easterners (see "True Lies" for a typical terrorist example). Well, it does have the standard stereotypes of American soldiers (the reluctant hero; the young, dumb country kid). A worthy remake of "Kelly's Heroes" for the Nineties; no masterpiece, but three stars from me. I can't vouch for the "realism", but be warned that I'm generally not looking for Reality in films. I went to the theater yesterday to escape from the reality of Ohio State being beaten silly in football by those darn cheeseheaded badgers from Wisconsin.
I haven't seen the film, but from the commercials, I immediately thought of "Kelly's Heroes" also.
is what I thought of when I saw a bit of the adverts. A John Huston classic with Sean Connery, Michael Caine, Christopher Plummer. A classic theme for audiophiles: how much is enough, and then where do you go from there? I can't imagine "Three Kings" could be better, but I'll look for it in my grocery store in a few months.
like a bridge over troubled water....there there
