Title: Downer topic low budget going nowhere movie
Review: Having served in the military I was unsure of how a "downer topic" would make for a good story. This low budget movie had a couple of Oscar nominations but the dialogue and banter between the three main characters was limited and spermatic. Both had issues they were dealing with but those issues, I feel, could have been developed with detailed flashbacks before returning to the main slow paced story drifting to nowhere. The wedding rehearsal ruined any sympathy I have for the Sergeant-hero and the Captain's attitude and demeanor caused me to write him off early in the story. Basically a downer movie with a downer topic with limited story and so so acting.
Is the review positive or negative?
