It's a fitting requiem for heroes forgotten.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 20, 2002

A complex story with a number of twists, it possesses a fatalism uncommon in American films.

The love triangle seems lifted out of "Pearl Harbor", and if there's a war movie from which you don't want to take inspiration, it's that one.

Ondrej Vetch is impressive as the stoic Franta.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 15, 2002

Looks like the Eastern European version of director Michael Bay's popcorn epic from last summer.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 12, 2002

Dark Blue World is a human war movie without flag-waving -- a relief these days.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 12, 2002

Dark Blue World almost feels like three scripts rolled into one.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 12, 2002

A bittersweet world, and it's frankly one to which we've been before, but seldom do we see it rendered with such exquisite, if pained, craftsmanship.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 5, 2002

Dark Blue World's warm story and beautiful photography almost hits the mark, and it has a great ending.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 7, 2002

Solid writing and endearing performances steer it clear of the usual mawkish traps.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 1, 2002

More bleak and certainly more hushed than the relatively bombastic Pearl Harbor, but they both tell a war-movie plot staple in approximately the same way.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 1, 2002

Takes an astounding piece of history and squanders it in cliches, sentimentality and cheap dramatics.

Full Review | Mar 1, 2002

A tale that's tragic, funny and compelling.

| Mar 1, 2002

Pearl Harbor without the product placements, without the Hollywood bombast, and certainly without the $100-million-plus budget.
