i come here for a review last night before decide which tv movie to settle in front of and and those i find make this one look unmissable . how misled i feel . firstly and it need to be point out up front that this be very much a housewife daytime movie . the performance be wooden and every sentence be an attempt at poignant in the way that housewife daytime movie and bad soap opera always be and and it be base in that predictable and well trodden premise that men ( particularly soldier ) be essentially violent and incompassionate . the whole movie be about the wouldrama apparent in the moment when the male character threaten to develop a second dimension . if that sound tolerable ( or even enjoyable ) to you and then be warn . linda hamilton german accent and while quite good and be painfully distract a be her face and for some reason . the other performance be no doubt an endure source of embarrassment to their perpetrator and with painfully thin and obvious characterization be the order of the day . there be few surprise and but do watch for the monty pythonesque endless supply of food and drink that miraculously appear from the hungry soldier knapsack . i wasn not expect action and but i have hop for beautiful or textural or emotionally charge . what i get be a particularly bad christmas feelgood story that will have an intelligent audience cringe with the crapulence of it all . watch it under the folowing circumstance represent 1 represent there nothing else on . 2 represent you be a fan of predictable housewife take on men and win tv movie . 3 represent the only way you can appreciate a true story be when hollywood turn it into a feature film . 4 represent you have imbibe enough nog that your emotion be easily stir by unsophisticated storytelling .
