Unrivaled best adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut's novel. An exceptionally powerful film with an interesting theme, a clever screenplay, and a star-studded cast. For me, Nick Nolte delivers his best performance. The film, and maybe it's not worth adding the word "surprisingly", hopelessly failed on the American film market and was not particularly appreciated by film critics. It is a tragicomic story of a man who sacrificed his entire life, his past and future, and even his personal identity in the name of a higher purpose, namely victory in war, and ultimately paid for it with the irony of fate. Overall impression: 90%.
