Impressive cinematography cursed with flaws of a slight gimmick

Rating: 7/10 (7 February 2020)

A decent war film that similarly to Birdman looks like it was filmed in one continuous take. The few issues that stem from that are that at times it begins to feel more like a video game cut-scene than a movie, and essentially limits it to being set in real time (with a lot of long walking scenes). The one-continuous-shot thing begins to feel like more of a gimmick than a storytelling tool at times. However the visuals keep the majority of scenes interesting and there are a couple of pretty breathtaking shots.
