A well told story

Rating: 8/10 (1 February 2008)

Let me start by telling you what you wont get: you won't get non-stop action, no large scale battles á la Private Ryan opening, no Hollywood mega stars and no breath taking special effects shots. If you're looking for that - rent Private Ryan, Hamburger Hill or Thin Red Line.
This is more like a relation drama set in WWII. What you will get is good acting, adequate special effects and beautiful scenery (given you find forests in the winter beautiful). The movie is almost cozy at times.
It's a well told story that is allowed to have it's own tempo. If you'd like an decent, intelligent film and don't mind the story taking it's time - then this is a good one.
