Reviews

I have to disagree with the other reviewers of this film, in that what they thought was a plus I found extremely negative. That of course I am talking about the incredibly annoying character Countess D'Arneau played by Maureen O'Hara. The character of the Countess D'Arneau seems like it was written for a different movie, or every other action was written for a different movie. The movie therefore cannot choose which way it wants to go, sweet romantic comedy or macho manly movie about solders racing across the desert. Unfortunately it tries to do both and fails miserably. It is very possible to re-cut the film and take out every scene with Maureen O'Hara. This would leave us with a dandy little historical war film (although short). Obviously this left me very disappointed because there are so few films about the time and subject and when one is as good as this it gets ruined by Hollywoods need to put a leading lady into every film.

Bottom line... Unless you are willing to fast forward through the needless drivel avoid this one. If you are willing than the rest is a well acted and well staged piece of American history.

Three things: Horrid script, putrid acting and bad direction!

I see all the good comments for this movie and I am mesmerized how low peoples standards of a good movie have become. I mean this makes Transformers look almost not as bad. People who like this movie how can you get past the cardboard amateur hour acting, the cheesy costumes or the ultra masculine macho women? You have to truly call a spade a spade and acknowledge that this movie is beyond brainless fun (which I like) and bordering mind numbing idiocy! If you guys ( I am assuming mostly males watched this piece of trash) accept this movie as good and write good reviews, why would a studio go out and make a good film when they have you guys giving ten stars to this stuff? Please I am begging you stay far away from this movie as possible and demand something half way decent. Ms. Blalock cannot even save this one from the dumpster why must you try to preserve this waste of film?
