Based on the graphic novel by James Jones, The Thin Red Line tells the story of a group of men, an Army Rifle company called C-for-Charlie, who change, suffer, and ultimately make essential discoveries about themselves during the fierce World War II battle of Guadalcanal. It follows their journey, from the surprise of an unopposed landing, through the bloody and exhausting battles that follow, to the ultimate departure of those who survived. A powerful frontline cast - including Sean Penn, Nick Nolte, Woody Harrelson and George Clooney - explodes into action in this hauntingly realistic view of military and moral chaos in the Pacific during World War II.

Too long-winded and not always easy to follow for me. In the meantime, sometimes dropped out a bit. Not a movie you're actually in.

Probably the worst war movie I’ve ever seen. Lots of weird army men’s thoughts embroiled with war scenes and boring down time. Based on a novel not a true story. So distant from the real accounts.

outstanding war movie. describes not just the brutality, evil, suffering of war, and some people find meaning from achievement, greed, love from brotherhood, parenthood, ... whatever, but everything seems to mean nothing when you are caught in a war ... humanity is lost.
