Another competent but unoriginal anti-war movie

Rating: 5/10 (10 March 2020)

You need to watch Gallipoli (1981) first to appreciate how incredibly BETTER the Mel Gibson flick was than this one. Under the guise of a drama Sam Mendes has actually concocted a lecture. I understand why film-buffs have marked this one up - because of the complete lack of other good movies. I did not appreciate all the "wokemon" stuff. For me it marred what could have been a regular, good war movie.
