B movie, not as interesting as The Onion Field or In Cold Blood. Sheen just didn't strike me as "serious" enough to be a murderer, for one thing. Something about his boyish face that doesn't make for a convincing, cold-blooded murderer. That applies to Apocalypse Now, too. he's a tv actor, nothing more. He has come to rest at his level later in his career.
Malick: Thin Red Line is forgettable. Platoon, Full Metal Jacket, and a few others are far better.
Anyhow, he's pretentious and overrated.
Just my opinion, of course: he could be the equal of Antonioni to you.
