It was hampered by a weak story: a five man tank crew under Mr Perfect Hair slugs its way through Germany during the closing stages of WWII, while breaking in a new recruit.
It was further hobbled by crushingly unoriginal dialog. I know tank crews are not particularly renowned for their poetry, but Pitt's line "The war will end some day, but before then a whole lot of people gotta die" probably had that other great artillery commander William Shakespeare turning in his grave.
It was somewhat interesting to see the war from the bowels of a tank, but it didn't turn this pedestrian affair into anything like the trailers would have us believe.
