Jim Caviezel was awesome as Pvt. Witt 1/12/99 Steve Kelley, SJKelley5@aol.com There's a point in a 3-hour poem when you want to strangle the poet. 1/11/99 LT Terrence Mallick needs a large dose of get-over-yourself 1/11/99 Mr Showbiz Jim Caviezel turns in a breakout performance, and Sean Penn and Nick Nolte also shine. 1/11/99 Charles von Waldenberg III It was too long, incoherant, pointless and pretentious.
