quote:I have a hard time calling this a quality war film. The beginning of the film ran smooth. But around the middle things started to become choppy. IMO it's not on par with films like Zero Dark Thirty or The Hurt Locker. I can also think of other war films from this year that are a lot more intense than this ['71 & Fury].
Quality war film overall that did a great job of evoking the intended emotions.
Also, I have a hard time overlooking the fake baby deal. In this day and age you should be able to do better than that.

Zero Dark Thirty
In comparison I felt less attached to the guys in that movie. I certainly did enjoy it but once the fighting began the rest of the movie was just a running gun battle and not much else.
As for AS, I think someone mentioned it in the other thread but Cooper did do a great job getting in his character to the point where you forget that he is Bradley Cooper, a celebrity. (In comparison, I love the Rock, love some his movies.. but every time I see him on screen I think "there's the Rock")

FAKE BABY REASONING?
quote:
Basically, film professionals know that Eastwood likes to move fast on movie sets and recognize that he took the easy and less expensive route of using a fake baby — not even animatronic — that Cooper had to move himself to make it look lifelike!" says longtime film columnist Anne Thompson, the author of The $11 Billion Year: From Sundance to the Oscars, an Inside Look at the Changing Hollywood System.
