Slow, Stiff, Unfocused, Predictable, Thought-provoking

See it if you like shows about the ravages of war though this one tries to shine a light on too many aspects of it and doesn't do any of them justice.

Don't see it if you're looking for something fresh or new or hoping to learn something. No new ground here.
