Up there with the greats

Rating: 9/10 (30 January 2017)

Going to watch this film I didn't exactly know what to expect, I knew it was a war film but I didn't know just how realistic it would be. The battle scenes are long and gruesome and you have a sense of being thrown right in the middle. Not only that but there is some seriously good story telling and the acting is superb. There is so much emotion put in to this and some scenes are lighter when they need to be and it gives overall a very good balance of pace, action and storytelling. Andrew Garfield is very convincing and Mel Gibson has overall directed one of the all time great war films.
Whatever you go to the cinema for, you wont be disappointed with this.
