Title: A real disappointment
Product review: I don't remember this mini series when it ran on TV, now I know why. Yes it has actors/stars you will know, some with only two or three lines but the acting is uninspired. I was hoping for so much more after reading a number of reviews. Yet in the end, I just wanted to be done with it. It does cover lives of two career army men and their families, but I just could not get into the characters. I have been a Sam Elliot fan for years, but this was not something he was allowed to shine in. Over the course of time, the men aged, a little bit, the women didn't. The battle scenes were absolutely some of the worst I have ever seen. This mini series came across as a low budget effort. Maybe it is just me, but this was not what I would call an epic minis series by any stretch of the imagination. In the end, just so bummed that Once an Eagle never flew.
