6/10
An honest good film.
11 August 2011
This is a great, sturdy film relying on good acting and story telling.

There is nothing to get too excited about in the way of action or affects but the story is engaging and the characters feel very real and it is easy to empathise with them.

The 'war is hell' motif is there but isn't forced down your throat.

Production is high and the battlefield scenes look very real and the director made a great decision not to shoot everything in pitch blackness.

I don't know how accurate the film is but the events are definitely plausible.

Not quite Friday night material but definitely worth a watch.
