On second thoughts, having seen all the trailers, I won't be watching the film. I've seen enough to know that it is in the 'noble soldier' tradition.

Try seeing the film before giving a knee jerk reaction. Robert Fisk did, and he thought it worth commenting on:

Fair enough. Fisky's smarter than me.
