I thought it was regular doublecross/crime story where the "hook" is mainly derived from the suspense from wondering who's going to get doublecrossed. Watching it for a second time isn't worth it because the hook isn't there and the interest in the narrative is deflated to zilch. I wouldn't call it a turkey because it still turned a tidy profit and it was an OK film on first viewing.A war movie on the other hand is going to be big budget with military equipment, armies of extras, and special effects unless it's all set in a command center or underground bunker. Tarantino doing a genre that's inherently violent (but not intended to be viewed as cartoonish like Kung Fu/Samurai as was the case with KB) could be too much for anyone to find authentic enough for the suspension of belief required for the narrative.
