...Ford had little time to savor its new European connection before making an embarrassing announcement. The company said it planned to recall 4.3 million cars, light trucks and vans to correct fuel-system defects that have caused some 230 engine fires and injured 16 people.

Now -- we will say no more -- Kubrick pretties up the climax with a bogus moral dilemma and some attenuated anguish. A viewer is finally left to savor earlier delights: the dialogue's wild, desperate wit; the daring in choosing a desultory skirmish to make a point about war's pointlessness; the fine, large performances of almost every actor (Ermey and D'Onofrio seem sure shots for Oscar nominations); most important, the Olympian elegance and precision of Kubrick...
