Being a big fan of World War 2 history I was interested in going to see this and though some story elements and character building were missing it is filmed with excellent hand held cam that carries suspense all the way to the end.
The character development was deeply lacking which was a disappointment as we don't care when people are dying and being killed and greatly takes away from the suspense we should've felt making this sort of feel bland a little bit. But unlike Gallipoli it gives an absolutely horrific vision of war that though is the message also of Gallipoli it didn't it show to well.
This film will hardly give you a minute to slow down keeping the momentum up very well and is gory enough to make you want to vomit for those faint hearted.
Overall it is enjoyable but not great. Really missed the mark in its story and character development which could've made it just that much more enjoyable which I would've liked it to have been.
Grade: B- Comment: Go in with an empty stomach some scenes may not want to be viewed.
