It's as if an obsessed movie nut had decided to collect every bad war-movie convention on one computer and program it to spit out a script.
Peter Rainer, New York Magazine/Vulture

Any flaws in execution pale against those moments when the film brings history to vital life.
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

The story hits and misses for more than two hours following its opening artillery bloodbath.
