A good war movie

Rating: 7/10 (17 January 2020)

I like a good war movie and couldn't wait to see this, it's a very well shot movie, great images fantastic back drops. But it's the kind of movie you only watch once, like Saving Private Ryan its is a good movie - not a nice movie if you know what I mean. Yes it's a horrors of war movie not an adventure story. I was a bit disappointed with the unnecessary scenes were he meets the girl with the baby in the bombed out town, felt like a bit of distraction (similar to the plantation scene in Apocalypse Now), it didnt add to the character or the story for me. I'm glad I've seen it but I didnt come out wowed as I expected.
