Lethargic Dull & Empty Misfire...Good Cast in Feckless But Noble Attempt
3 March 2023
A Military Court-Room Drama that Never Grips Enough to Make the Watch Intriguing, Interesting or Involving.

Everyone in the Good Cast Seems to be Operating in Slow-Motion, Even Lead Robert Mitchum Needs a Cane to Get Around.

The Central Point of the Story is Whether or Not Kennan Wynn, who Shoots a Fellow Soldier In Cold Blood, is Insane or Not. But if You Make to the Over-the-Top and Silly Ending, You Probably will Not Care.

There's a Lot of Talk About the Allies, this is Set in India at the End of WWII, and how the Army Needs a Rushed Conviction Because Wynn's Murder Might Upset Internal Camaraderie.

It Doesn't Ring True. None of it Does. There's 1 Scene where He Goes Off On a White-Supremacist Tirade, and then it's Never Mentioned Again.

The Movie Feels Disjointed and Disarmed of Anything with True Convictions. It just Sort of Lays there and Slowly Moves From one scene to Another with Absolutely No Gravitas.

There's a Love Interest Thrown in There for Mitchum that Seems Out of Place and Like Everything Else Here Goes Nowhere.

All the Good Cast Members are Wasted and Mitchum seems Bored as Hell.

You Will Be Too.

A Bona-Fide Misfire at this Level, if There Ever Was One.
