The Thin Red Line

CriticsCritics: 79
AudienceAudience: 7.5

During World War II, a company of soldiers faces fierce fighting on Guadalcanal, enduring exhaustion, fear, loss, and moral uncertainty. As they move from an unexpected landing into grueling battles and eventual departure, their experiences lead them to reflect on themselves, humanity, and the natural world surrounding them.

My take

You may enjoy this if you prefer reflective, visually striking war dramas like A Hidden Life or Glory; Not for you if you want fast action, a straightforward plot, or tightly focused characters.
