    "The Thin Red Line would have been infinitely more successful without the frequent rest-stops full of mental malaise and philosophical pretense." — Scott WeinbergRotten Tomatoes: Reviews

    "It makes you think and ask questions. Its characters contradict themselves, talking one way, acting another. And it ends abruptly, with many things unresolved. Like life."— Jeffrey OverstreetRotten Tomatoes: Reviews
