and, IMHO, it sucked, big time. It seemed reasonably accurate, but the lighting was impossibly 21st century, the lack of accent consistency (as in pick one) was extremely disconcerting. Also, even during WWII, things happened at a slower pace, and the film simply ignored that.
Also, Cruise was terrible. He has overacted in virtually everything for 20 years. His early stuff - All the Right Moves and Risky Business - showed real promise, but, then, we had Top Gun, The Color of Money and Cocktail where he basically chewed the scenery. Somehow, he got himself back on track with Rain Man (by far his best performance ever) and mostly with Born on the Fourth of July. Since then, he is the epitome of overacting. Nothing has changed here.
