They went for the original feel. They got it. With a strong start it didn't take long before the story really slooowwwwweeddddd down. Way too long for the story that was told. Cinematography was excellent. However, that doesn't tell a story. Special effects and cinematography is great. It enhances the story. However, this film seemed to use the story to justify the cinematography. Finally, the ending left you with a sense of how were you ever supposed to put that together. You should be able to put the pieces together and the final reveal shows you were right or wrong. Nope. More than one couple left muttering about how slow the film was. Unless you're a cult fan wait and borrow it from a friend once released or once available for video streaming watch it then.

5 out of 10

That is because I just couldn't make up my mind if this movie was good or bad. It had a lot of classic humor. The problem was that while watching a movie which stars two of the biggest sitcom actors / comedians you expect BIG laughs. It doesn't have BIG laughs. It has "Hmm that's funny" laughs.

I reserve this film for the "if you have seen all the big hits" and just want something different, then this is for you.

It's a decent flick and I will leave it at that.

Enjoy the show.

Ahh,

I must admit that I was very young when this film first came out. At that age, Sean Penn who? At this age Sean Penn. What political stance is he taking now. This film is early in his career, and is a eye widener as to what he would/is up to in his older years. The film itself if hard to believe. We all know that war is hell. But some things we just don't do everyday. No one is saying that what happened in the film didn't happen. But, if it did (and is a small part might have), in no way was it normal business, despite media showings. War is War. No One Despites This. War SUCKS.

My Point Is That No One Knew At The Time Sean Penn's Views. And, for some one who says he isn't anti-American it is straight up strange that his early roles are'nt straight up anti-American military. Everyone that follows him knows that he has consistently taken up anti-authority roles.

Film is a big political media. Anyone who says that it isn't is ignorant. Case in point would be Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Whole political views were formed per that film. So no one should say that film doesn't impact. At one point BOOKS had the same impact, case in point would be the CIVIL WAR (UNCLE TOM'S CABIN.)

Point: SEAN PENN, political actor. Don't listen to him. He is an ACTOR!
