- 50Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertChicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertMade me feel like I was sitting in McDonald's watching some guy shout at his kids. Price of Glory gives us two hours of that behavior, and it's a miscalculation so basic that it makes the movie painful when it wants, I guess, to be touching.
