I watched this movie because I like Burt Lancaster and I like war movies. Mr. Lancaster brings his usual quiet, dead-pan, face the facts characterization to this project. It also contains the talents of Peter Falk and Bruce Dern. All do admirably well with the parts they are given to play. However, this was 1-3/4 hours of pointless drivel. I think the underlying theme may have been the pointlessness or insanity of war, but even that was done so poorly I wonder. This was more a slap-dash of scenes that could have been parts of a better movie. As the movie ended, I was left thinking, "What a waste" on multiple levels. The story was pointless, never went anywhere. It was a waste of good acting; it was a waste of potential; and a waste of my time.
