Takes you into trenches but doesn't drag you in.

Rating: 7/10 (16 January 2020)

This is a good film. Visually excellent and gives you a real feel of what it would have been like on the front line WW1. There is a feeling of haven't we been here before referring to Saving Private Ryan and a little Gallipoli at the end. There is terrific tension and drama. However the leads are miscast. They came across as a couple of Eton boys. Perhaps that was the intent, that war heros are not necessarily all tough alpha males, but it detracts from the film. Don't mean Jason Statham or the Rock, but more presence needed.
