Disjointed, baggy and I’m not sure it actually has anything new to say. Barely anything more than just a collection of stock military vignettes. Emotional states fluctuate from scene to scene, making the whole film feel incredible schizophrenic which on the one hand is possibly intentional but on the other hand, has the effect of making it really difficult to engage with the characters or the story.

All this being said, it’s interesting to see how much this film almost single-handedly influenced the aesthetics of war movies and video games for at least a decade.
