...astringent, understated film in which the subtle interplay of surface and substance produces an ambiguity of multiple meanings. The company commander, for example, regards Endore as "a valuable man," and deliberately blinds himself to the fearsome core of Endore's nature. The C.O. is the perfect portrait of the manipulator of means who forgets ends and comes to accept the terms of war as the norm of existence.

Jealousy, as a portrait of a state of mind, a tense suspicion (which the reader shares with the eye), never offers either the joyful release of action or the final assurance that A ...
