Somewhat disjointed, but still very gripping

Rating: 8/10 (23 April 2018)

I'll first say that I very much enjoyed this movie and would highly recommend it. It had all the suspense and action that you expect from a war drama, but told in a different way.
The storytelling in this movie was a bit offputting to me at first. I would've honestly preferred a chronological story. I would've understood more if the movie took the three main storylines one at a time, but the fact that they jump back and forth between three non-chronological stories seemed a bit much to me.
Despite my issues with the chronology, I definitely felt engaged in the story and I had no problem becoming invested in the characters. All of the main actors gave great performances and their characters seemed believable. Halfway through I found myself genuinely caring about the outcomes for each of the main characters.
What I find most interesting about this movie is that it was able to tell a gripping war story without including a lot of intense fighting scenes. The fact that the movie keeps up the suspense despite the Germans hardly ever appearing on screen was downright impressive. You could argue that this was done only to get the movie a PG-13 rather than R rating, but I think it worked out well and I don't feel like I missed out on anything because of it.
This movie wasn't anything revolutionary, but it had good production value and a good story. It's great to see another high-quality WWII movie in theaters.
