The lack of violence in the first quarter hour is refreshing, especially with a Tarantino script.  Tony Scott directed, before Crimson Tide, etc.

I'm assuming that the '70s version at least had fun fashion.  This is based on the novel by John Godey, and directed by Tony Scott, after Crimson Tide and Spy Game, which are also D-s.

I actually disliked this movie more when Redford started wisecracking.  Tony Scott directed, six years after Crimson Tide.

Not only is this a Simpson-Bruckheimer movie about the military, but characters' obnoxiousness is presented as wit.  Still, it wasn't racist or violent (just sexist) in the first quarter hour.  Tony Scott directed.

This is the fourth Gene Hackman film I've rejected, and with each one I thank God that Robert Reed snagged the Mike Brady role.
