very one dimensional that lacks any significant sub plot.The characterization is not fully developed and it leaves one wondering exactly what makes these guys "tick"...besides wanting to stay alive. The acting done mostly by unknowns, aside from Frank Whaley (as Chamberlan), is commendable.Having never participated in war, I can only assume that this film comes about as close to reality as possible.The cinematography, insofar as war dramas go, can't get much better.This is far from the brilliance that is found in a film such as Das Boot ("The Boat")or the fully developed characters in Attack, yet for 95 minutes it's difficult to find any fault except for the obvious mentioned above.Good, but much more could have been done with this. 7/10 *By the way, I never saw Saving Private Ryan.
