A movie conceived, produced, directed by and starring that guy who would have been better off staying behind the camera and giving more time to everyone else.
It's an interesting but unsatisfying piece. It can't quite decide on its tone. Is it a war movie? A buddy film? A tragedy? A light hearted love story?
Well, it can't decide, tries to be all of the above, and fails to be any of them.
The stellar cast aren't given enough to do, and the score jumps all over the place. The pacing is at least constant, as is the energy level and cinematography.
Ultimately, it's a menu with all the ingredients to produce a satisfying meal, but throws them at you one at a time in a haphazard fashion that leaves you wondering what a real cook could have made with them.
