Apparently Italians are up in arms... Funny how Spike Lee got all over Eastwood for not being accurate for the Iwo Jima movies but it is okay for him to alter history.

:looser:

Well I had time to kill today before getting to the airport. This movie was 2 hours and 40 minutes long. Perfect for what I needed to do which was fill time.

All I can say is Mulli was spot on! I wanted to walk out but didnt because I had nothing else to do. God this was so incredibly awful!

Well, I know this is an old thread, but I just saw it on pay per view.. so if it saves one other person the horror...
I don't know what ruined it the most for me,
The Italian kid saying Choc-Oh-Lah-Tay Giant 300 times
Or that the black guys were actually saying.. "***** pleaze" and other more modern ghetto slang in a WW2 movie.

Maybe it was quoting parts of the Geneva convention that did not exist yet.

Avoid this movie at all costs.
