A good but not great film

Rating: 7/10 (17 January 2020)

For me this is a solid 7 out of 10. It achieves my main objective of not having a contrived storyline whilst indulging in too many myths which surround the war. It was gritty, superbly shot, decently acted and had some genuinely beautiful moments in. There are only a few bits which let it down. And it is only a few. Some of the action sequences were a bit too unrealistic. And some of the dialogue was a bit awkward. But overall these things detract very little from what is a solidly good film in a war which is seldom touched by filmmakers.
