The true masculine urge to crawl through the trenches and slowly bleed out with your homies. All jokes aside, I find the main appeal of Sam Mendes' films is the sense of balance he's able to cultivate; this film being the most exemplary display. War films usually dump attention to pacing and structure for emotional gut punches over and over. As seen here, its entirely more effective to land a couple direct haymakers rather than a barrage of jabs.
