It is bad, and it compounds the bad by being long.ÂĪ fortune was spent on this movie, but unfortunately for Rev. It’s fiercely didactic, diverges enough from reality that it begins with a weasel-worded disclaimer, and the cast, competent enough Korean pros and Hollywood “names,” do the best they can trying to make a leaden script float. Cruise is a very, very competent actor, but reviewers seem to hate him for his unusual religion could a similar bias have influenced Inchon reviews?)  So we exposed our fair glazzies to the entire duration of the thing - the original, 2 hour 20 minute long extravaganza.Īnd… to put it gently… Inchon has got issues. (We certainly see that in reviewers’ treatment of Tom Cruise. Furthermore, no review of Inchon fails to note that its impresario was Sun Myung Moon of the Unification Church we wondered if maybe there was a little bias happening there.

Surely someone could make a great movie out of that. (We’ve argued before that constraints, like tight budgets or rigid formats, often have a salutary effect on artists). Inchon was a war movie about one of the most dramatic reversals in all of military history: a battle that was full of interesting characters, remarkable events, and human striving in its most elemental. We haven’t ever seen Heaven’s Gate or Ishtar, but when we finally got around to seeing Waterworld, we discovered that its reputation hid a pretty decent B actioner, poisoned by too large a budget and too much hype. Many more people have heard of how dreadful it is than have actually seen it.

Inchon is one of those movies like Ishtar, Heaven’s Gate, or Waterworld.
