Story
Germans left their trenches, British phone lines cut, 2 soldiers have to deliver a message behind enemy lines. We have seen this in Saving Private Ryan, only difference here: The soldiers know where the recipient of the message is located. On their way they see friendly aircraft, at least 2 times flying over them. My question: Why didn't the aircraft drop these messages? Story would be over.
Acting: While George MacKay delivered an okay-ish performance, Dean-Charles Chapman was ridiculous. He is just too immature for this role.. his character came over like a baby.. I didn't buy it and in my eyes it was pretty unauthentic.
It is good for a watch, I just wonder why they picked this poor story, (which we already saw in Saving Private Ryan) for this beautifully shot film.
