- N8October 10, 2024I've never read the book so I can't comment on it's accuracy with that, but as a war movie, this is a top tier movie. The action scenes are top notch with some absolutely AMAZING cinematography with some nice long shots mixed in all over the place. The sound design is also really nice and sounded real good on my average sound system. This is a movie with not much to cheer for. It aims to capture the horrors of the war and absolutely nails it. It's a bleak movie with lots of sad deaths, horrible deaths, and other deaths to expect in a movie like this. The actors in this do a great job showing all the emotions they are feeling, which also adds to the horror of it all. For me personally, I put this in up there in one of the best war movies ever made. Netflix really did a great job with this one.
- Pasha LevchukAugust 10, 2025Great movie showing the horrors of war with a lot of parallels to what is happening with the Russian war in Ukraine
- ropermAugust 1, 2025This decades Saving Private Ryan and in many way an even more authentic depiction of the horror and brotherly type bonds of War . Beautifully directed and acted.
- Kevin WardJuly 6, 2025Stunning filmmaking. If there was ever streaming film that deserved a theatrical release on premium format screens, it is this. From the opening gorgeous frame, to the harrowing and chaotic action set-pieces, the claustrophobic trench warfare, and the tank sequences, there is so much to behold. The bombastic score blares in, jarringly at first, with a three note phrase followed by silence. This unresolved phrase is a recurring motif that creates this truly unsettling tension whenever it’s used throughout the film. Honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever heard a score quite like it, particularly in a war film. It’s a bleak and relentless film experience depicting the Horrors of War and emphasizes the common War is Hell theme we’ve seen in similar films, but there is also a pronounced theme of futility that’s hammered home. Uniforms of the dead are thoroughly scrubbed, name tags removed, and issued to eager new recruits. Minutes before an agreed upon armistice, soldiers march forward to their deaths. Honestly, I was blown away by this film.
