2.0 out of 5 starsForgettable
Reviewed in Australia on 11 August 2020
It was a forgettable film that I struggled to finish watching. The characters were not at all interesting or engaging. The story wasn’t particularly compelling. Another disappointing film as compared to quality pay tv mini series and series productions. There were all sorts of oddities in the film. To be honest I’ve forgotten most because it was so forgettable. But I did wonder why a soldier volunteer his mate for a mission? Also, given it was pretty unusual in WW1 in the British Army for corporal to have a brother who was commissioned, why add that detail? Given it was unusual it was either worth explaining or, absent that, better not being part of the script.
