I've been talking about MY review, not yours, michuk :). I translated it, so I don't have to explain myself. ...
I like war films, and the new kind, which presents war in a realistic and appalling way, with real humans instead of patriotic puppets, even more. Golden Lion in Venice, and positive reviews from criticks and michuk put it on ...
Intelligent, perfectly directed, well acted and charming. Inspite of quite forseeable course of action, it tacks a lot of subjects. Everybody has a chance of finding something for themselves, and if not, it's so full of subtle humour - the audience laughs one time after an other - that these are enjoyable 90 minutes anyway. I rate it a tad too high, as iCarey Mulligan looks and acts like a younger copy of Audrey Hepburn. A perfect, intelligent, date flick.
A recently popular, deglorifying and realistic. view of the world, this time from the inside of a tank. Originality of this film derives from the fact that it portraits scared shitless, drafted youth, unprepared for killing and dreaming about breaking away instead of patriotic killing machines served usually by Hollywood. An independent film + popular motif + good cinematography = good reviews. A classic? I think not, I for one didn't care much about it - partly because of my political views.

A princess in shining armor kills the dragon, saves the kingdom and dumps the prince. Pretty? Pretty. Interesting? Not so much.
A solid film with even better performance from Pacino (although not to different from what he usually does). Faults? Only relative, the bar has simply been raised since then. I prefer even the 3-year older French Connection.
