World War One, One shot masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (4 April 2020)

World War One is not a popular subject for Hollywood it's often not explored as much as The Second World War. As it seems very few Directors are willing to take on the mud and the blood to produce an original story. However this is a great peice of UK film making, shot on locations such as Salisbury Plain and Scotland. With a stela cast of British actors who are not over stated or underused. The main story is about two characters we are shown this from the start. It's a journey, even a race against the clock. It's tense and slow-burning simmering away. It manages to avoid being predictable and shows the war from our young tommies point of veiw. Its a fresh take on a movie where by the feel of it being shot in one take helps improve the story. This is the best British film about World War One and to me atleast, the best British film released in awhile.
