Great experience

Rating: 9/10 (26 February 2020)

To be honest I am not the biggest war movies fan. Gone to the movie way too late with all awards in mind. So I can't say that I didn't have high expectations. But it blew me away. They say the movie is shot to look like a continuous take. And it does. For the first half of the movie I was just trying to spot where are the cuts. But eventually just gave up and enjoyed the ride. The cinematography is exceptional! Felt like most of war movies are too slow or feels too long therefore boring. It was nothing like that. The action, the score, the sound, the gritty realism of it all kept me on the edge of the seat. It didn't feel like a two hour movie for me. Though there is not much of a story but I didn't mind that at all. There is a mission that needs to be done and problems and struggles characters end up dealing with keeps the movie going. Didn't mind that characters weren't too interesting either. These are people in the middle of the war. So every little detail we get to know about the characters feels compelling. The acting of course is excellent. Very little criticism overall. Besides that it is not that historically accurate.
