If your expecting a Saving Private Ryan or Patton type film you are going to be disappointed. The movie is not patriotic, and it mostly flips back and forth from different times(some are flashback). The time changes are not confusing, but it is annoying in the way they happen. The acting ranges from mediocre to just plain bad. Which cause you to never quite feel for the characters. Then story tends to drag at the end, and it just lacks depth through the entire film.
The visuals are great in the film. It's some of the best I've seen in this type of film. Nothing stands out as historically inaccurate, like in some period films that have present day soda/beer cans, etc. It's different in many way to the normal war film, in the aspect that it shows solders after the war in more detail.
Overall I was not checking what time it was during the movie, so it did keep my attention. My recommendation is if you really want to see it, catch the matinée or the discount theater showing in a few weeks. It's not worth full price!
