I generally liked the movie, which was, I thought, in sharp contrast with SPR that I considered absolutely offensive. Pardon me for using this parralel, but it is only natural (see another such "pair: FMJ vs. Platoon, with pretty much the same observatins).It is, in my view, not a great movie in a true sense of that word, but it is NOT an irritating movie at all. Today that is not a trivial prase for an American movie.
Directing is not going to win any major awards and some people objected to certain scenes as being too corny, but at least it did not stoop down to cheaper-than-cheap effects and managed to maintain a good level of professionalism, while retaining a very strong human element - something completely missing from the cliche-and-cardboard cutouts-driven SPR.
A movie that I would like my kids to see.
