Not a fan

Rating: 2/10 (15 June 2017)

The cinematography was pretty good and I'll give Shia LaBeouf credit for doing a great acting job. But besides those things, the movie was kind of terrible. I didn't like Brad Pitt's "typical", clean- shaven, muscular, mean army guy thing that he had going on. Also the fact that Logan Lerman's character was the other "typical" character that had no idea what was going on was kind of ridiculous. The pain and fear that Logan Lerman's character faced is not unusual, but the fact that he was forcibly placed onto a tank was kind of weird. From my experience, it seems that those who work in tanks have some kind of special training. Why would they put someone like that in a tank? It doesn't seem very realistic. Jon Bernthal's character was also barbaric and seemed to be a bit exaggerated. Of course, it's possible that all of this may have actually happened. After all, anything's possible. However, the clothes and hairstyle that the girl had were incredibly unrealistic. That's not what girls of the 40s looked like. The fact that they just walked into the next room and had sex but tried to make it seem romantic was really weird.
The movie itself gave almost no indication that the characters were suffering. Jon Bernthal's character showed signs of breaking but it kind of seemed like his character was already like that. It seems like they took a couple of facts that they knew happened and tried to revolve everything around those things, without doing any other research...
