...Lynnfield Pioneers approach the album with a recipe for music-making that fails as often as it succeeds. The first half of the album is far superior to the second half because its songs have a trajectory and each tune an organizing theme lacking on the rest of Emerge. The second half sounds like a teenage garage band aimlessly jamming, giving the impression that the Lynnfield Pioneers recorded the songs before they finished writing them. These unfinished works contain some good ideas and developing or condensing them would result in a far superior product. Despite the album's faults...
While filming a scene in which Nolte, who plays a hard-driving, glory-hunting lieutenant colonel, is chewed out by a superior over the phone (for Nolte's benefit, John Cusack improvises a verbal reaming from behind the camera), Malick's directions seem to consist solely of "Take a pause," "Look over at the river," and "Let's do another one."

As Bobby Cooper (Sean Penn) speeds through in his '64-and-a-half Mustang convertible, a vulture picks at the carcass of a canine that looks meaner than the bird; even the victims here wear a scowl. That's Bobby: a part-time tennis player, full-time weasel who kicks cats and isn't much nicer to humans...
