Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
The characters, if not sympathetic, are at least interesting and brought to life with authenticity by the talented cast.
It's a well-done satire that only the thinnest of skins would find insulting.
Like its bored soldiers, this movie seems to play with volatile substances with not nearly enough respect for their meaning.
It's mostly a lurching, clumsy affair, a very poor man's Catch-22.
