Original portrayal of heroism and of the horrors of war

Rating: 9/10 (22 January 2020)

This film manages to look at the First World War in a different perspective to many others. It focuses on a race against time to warn a company against an imminent attack that is a trap. It's strength is the way that it combines at times incredible tension and danger with effective paced character development. This is only possible because of two stunning performances from its leads MacKay and Chapman. The ordinariness of these two characters makes the heroism more impressive and believable. A film that has real humanity .Great cinematography too.
