Always meant to watch this movie so well praised. I could not get into it. Most of the movie is men riding through sandy deserts with overly dramatic music in the background. The plot is not compelling, basically it's men posturing and prancing about. I really did try to like it but gave up after a very long hour and a half, i found it extremely tedious and boring. Hardly a decent story to grab onto. I don't understand how it gets the acclaim it does. The godfather, the Shawshank redemption, great movies, not this one sorry. And excruciatingly long at almost four hours start to finish. Puzzling...
Not to take away from the greatness of Audie Murphy as the most courageous soldier he was, the movie lacks punch. The plot while true to life lacks the drama of a good war movie and I found myself falling asleep many times while watching.
Considering the all star cast, and Fritz Lang as director, this is as bland a movie I could imagine. Nothing at all outstanding either in the plot or the acting. Really more of a farce than a good film noir drama which is what I expected.
