If you read the book and they followed the book should you be expecting a surpise? Maybe in the middle of the movie Robbin Williams should have been shown in a scene doing a USO show! LOL
So you are saying "Wait for cable"! OK
Wait for cable?? Not sure, I didnt feel ripped off, (I went to the matinee, though!)
Just not an Oscar Winner. 500,000 times better than Thin Red Line, but then again, "Abott and Costello Join the Army" was a better war movie than that.
