Title: Beach Red, Low Budget WWII
Review: A low budget, poorly-made film. The acting, except for Rip Torn, is laughable. The battle scenes have some vigor to them, but don't make much sense. In all, the picture owes more to the Vietnam War era than WWII. Perhaps film buffs point to this film because it was one of the first WWII films to show the war in some graphic detial (bloody bullet wounds, shot-off arms and legs, etc) and it follows the travails of the foot-soldier, rather than the generals. It's like bad Sam Fuller, which means, really, really low budget. The voice-overs and flashbacks are indeed very reminiscent to Mallick's technique in THIN RED LINE, although in BEACH RED, the effect is mostly silly. In sum, the effect is mostly bogus, somehow exploitive, and impossible to watch without a fast-forward button.
