For all of its supposed verisimilitude, The Mosquito Bowl seems less indebted to the reality of war than it does to Hollywood’s idea of it, and its abject refusal to flesh out its characters makes it feel more contrived rather than less.

It would take some really sharp and distinctive execution to make [this theme] feel fresh again -- and as admirable as The Mosquito Bowl often is in its craft, its storytelling falls well short of that bar.

6/10

Despite all of its grandeur, The Mosquito Bowl remains an exceedingly by-the-books film that adds very little new to the canon of war epics.

Berg doesn’t trust his audience, repeatedly taking the whole film into overkill when he isn’t drowning the movie in speeches and irksome cinematography.
