Too much general flaws in the execution for it to be "kino"
>generic stock soundtrack with the blatant use of temp tracks
>the relatively small budget becomes obvious in any bigger scale scene with The Hobbit like extra duplicates and the fact that 90% of the movie is medium and close-up shots
>somewhat comedic tonal shifts in certain scenes like that first bringing down of the wounded soldier without them noticing and the Vince Vaughn sled like ride and shoot, all the while "serious" soundtrack plays in the background
>Vince Vaughn's performance in general
>too one sided portrayal of the war where the americans are ultimate heroes while the japs are characterless absolute evil monsters
>pretty generic cliche narrative overall
Still enjoyed the movie in cinema, just don't pretend it's flawless.
