Empire Review - 4.25 out of 5 (5/23/2003)
Writer/director Terrence Malick created what are widely regarded as two of the best films of the 1970s--BADLANDS and DAYS OF HEAVEN--before dropping completely out of sight for twenty years. Thus, expectations for his third film, THE THIN RED LINE (adapted by Malick from James Joyce's novel), were uncommonly high.

Star credit makes no sense - 2.75 out of 5 (8/24/2001)
I kid you not, George Clooney is credited in the credits of this film on the poster, yet his role is all of 30 seconds, yet John Travolta IS UNCREDITED, and has a bigger role in this film, probably 3-5 minutes. Go figure!
Sean Penn's role is smaller than you think as well, considering he gets top billing on the poster.

Borefest at it's finest - 2 out of 5 (2/21/2001)
To put it mildly this movie is terrible. Lousy combat footage, Woody Harrelson and John Travolta are the absolute worst and a slow plodding storyline make one snoozefest of a movie. Don't waste your money on this mess. Terence Malick fans will proclaim this the best war movie ever. DON'T YOU BELIEVE IT!!!! The story is so disjointed, characters suddenly appear and disappear. The characters are also so poorly developed and the acting is so very pedestrian.
