Has anyone else seen this movie?

I rated it here in our ratings thread at a modest 6/10:
https://www.debatepolitics.com/art-...-you-watched-and-rate-330.html#post1069797548

But the movie stayed in my mind over the next two days and I decided to give it a second viewing.

After watching it again, I'm not sure but that I missed it entirely the first time through, that instead of a campy misfire, this is a serious and profound character study, a modern tragedy, and perhaps a very great film.

The IMDB plot summary is tellingly scant: "A legendary American war veteran is recruited to hunt a mythical creature."

If anyone else has seen this movie, I'd like very much to hear what you think.
 
I saw the trailer the other day and wasn't quite sure what to make of it. It is definitely a ...unique...concept.

Agreed. He is also in the first place position of my VERY short list of white men who look better with a mustache than without. Tom Selleck is in second place.

The way I figure it, if a movie keeps you thinking about it and every time you see it you spot something new, then that's the hallmark of a great movie.

The first time I saw The Thin Red Line, I would have probably given a 6/10... but it stuck with me. Then when I watched it again, I saw something new. As I got older and had a different perspective, I saw other things that weren't apparent to me earlier as well. Now I think it's one of the greatest films of all time. It's funny how some things can grow on you.

I'll have to check this one out.
