Just saw "This Red Line"

I saw this movie just this last weekend.
I had heard it wasn't very good even before I watched it, so my expectations weren't too high. I thought I was doing this film a favor by staying awake. Bad, very bad.
 
"The Big Red One" was directed by Sam Fuller, who was an M-1 carrying ground pounder in WW2 and saw action in Europe. Fuller was always more interested in telling a story than in cinematic sweep or even accuracy. His movie about Korea, "The Steel Helmet" tells a good story but is just awful in depicting combat. I cannot understand why this is so, since Fuller heard shots fired in anger.
 
Thin Red Line, I hate to say was a stinker.
So boring the plot I fell asleeeeeeeeepzzzz
zzzzzzzzzzz :D
The Big Red One has my two thumb up vote, good story and good actors
Private Ryan Outstanding motion picture, Seen it so many times the pop corn people knew me by my first name. I liked it !
