Finaly saw most of that (gulp) "movie". No, didn't pay for it, and would not. Forced myself to watch to the end. Really should not have, because as bad as the whole movie was, the ending is thousand times worse. Feel like eat some shit.Bad actors, wooden acting, ridiculous situations, total lack of realism (all those super-accurate shots belong into Steven Seagal stupid action flicks), too much red paint, too little creativity, stupid GI personnal stories and the ending, oh, that idiotic ending!
Spielberg knows how to speculate on what is dear and important. He calls himself a "director". Cut me a major break. Bergman was a director. Kubrick was. Allen is. Spielberg is to directing what Big Mac is to fine French cuisine.
As bad as that movie is, its impression was made even worse by watching Bergman's The Passions of Anna prior to it.
What is next from that Butcher of Beverly Hills?
