The original was better in many ways.

203.164.3.167

The Thin Red Line from the early 60's was better in many respects, it was not "arty" or beautiful, and it starred Kier Dullea from 2001 fame who I think did a pretty good job of portraying Doll as a man on the verge of losing it.

It's really a film about Doll's grim determination to survive,and his view that officers are jerks, and ultimately war is useless. The battle scenes are pretty good.

Worth seeing- if you don't mind accepting the limitations of script and violence in war movies of the time.
