Title: Catcher in the Rye, Marine-style
Review: If Swofford is a typical Marine then god help the Corps. On one hand he's apparently great at everything he does, on the other he couldn't be more 'unprofessional' if he tried.An interesting look at Swofford's views on life (I feel sorry for the guy) but I doubt if it's a decent look at the Marines or war.This could be considered navel-gazing ala Catcher in the Rye except with a uniform on. No, I do NOT think Catcher in the Rye is a good book!Usually the movie is not as good as the book but in this case I'm willing to bet the opposite.
Is the review positive or negative?
