I will say that this film is definitely on the short list of films that have crossed the threshold. With that being said, I think this movie is still a little overhyped and underutilizes a few of it's major players (Here's looking at you Spike Jonze). The film started out strong with the plot to steal the gold, but once they being to actually go through with it and one thing lead to another, the story just seemed to flop for me. I would've preferred the simple story of the soldiers rather than the huge antiwar twist in the second half. Not that antiwar is a bad things, I just didn't care for the way it was approached here. It just killed the story. There's not much I can criticize other than that. Great visuals and and acting. It's worth a viewing...

I don't think the trio of protagonists should be completely off the hook toward the end, but this raises some pretty important ethical questions. The acting is pretty good, and the cinematography is gorgeous. I can't always tell what is meant to be satirical and what is supposed to be taken seriously- I guess an exploration the duality of mankind can include a couple of slow-motion explosions.

a very different and very well made war film

An action movie with heart.

Love CSI? Get a kick out of today's modern details of the workings of the human body? Then thank the makers of this movie- they used this technique to show the damage to the human body a bullet causes..

And even the film itself is amazing

Pretty interesting, though it's a bit surreal at times.
