Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: A --
One of the most harrowing of anti-war statements, and the most beautiful too.

Movie Mezzanine
Rating: 4/5 --
War is depoliticised and shown to be uniformly evil, perverse and unnatural, a complete antithetical counterpoint to mankind's craving for existential sanctity.

...[A] masterpiece of poetic flourish and grand ambition... -- 4 out of 5 stars
Total Film
The Thin Red Line remains a breathtakingly beautiful, meditative and mesmerizingly formless account of pain inflicted, and in a few lucky instances, survived.

Birth.Movies.Death.
Dispenses with plot, characterization, dramatic structure and emotional payoffs in favor of the sort of painstakingly composed pictorial diddling that invariably gets critics frothing about the director's "indelible" images.

...Malick's return is a cause for celebration. His harsh, haunting film shuns the platitudes to expose war as a crime against nature...
Rolling Stone
The film is a gorgeous garland on an unknown soldier's grave.

Product Description:
Terrence Malick returns to Hollywood after a two-decade hiatus with this adaptation of the classic WWII novel by James Jones. The story follows the efforts of an army platoon to capture the Japanese-controlled island of Guadalcanal in the Pacific Ocean, which will have a major effect on the outcome of the war. The members of C-for-Charlie Company are all fighting for different reasons: some to achieve glory, some to fight for democracy, and some simply to remain alive. They spend the quieter moments reflecting upon their existence, searching for meaning amid the senselessness of war.
Malick's reputation as one of cinema's most brilliant directors, based on his masterworks BADLANDS and DAYS OF HEAVEN, enabled him to pull together one of the largest ensemble all-star casts in Hollywood history. The result is a sprawling epic that carries itself like a poem read in a dream, a feeling that is greatly enhanced by John Toll's floating camerawork and Hans Zimmer's haunting score. Rather than concentrating solely on the violence and destruction of war, Malick uses the situation to address philosophical questions such as man versus nature, war versus peace, and good versus evil. THE THIN RED LINE proves that after a 20-year layoff, Malick hasn't lost a step.
