Even A-list actors would not have been able to salvage this script. The motivation of the characters is mystifying but it's totally not the director's fault; it's the script.
The actors' makeup was too clean-looking and unrealistic. Someone else said the vehicles looked fresh out of the factory and they are right: no way they looked like they were airlifted or came off a landing craft and driven across France: no mud, no scrapes, no faded insignia.
Finally, I don't disagree that the racism and hatred in a segregated US Army was real but the way it is portrayed in this movie is just too ham-handed, preachy, and one dimensional.
