rotten:
Seems to take its name not so much from the Arlington Memorial Cemetery, where much of the action takes place, but from the stiffness of the characters it portrays.

The most important missing ingredient is Mr. Coppola.

rotten:
A handsome but fragmentary film that can't decide which story to tell.

fresh:

There's a curious ambiguity in Coppola's feelings about the soldiers and their life.
