Led by a couple of not very well know actors, Game of Thrones, Dean-Charles Chapman and George MacKay, the movie follows two young Lance Corporal's Blake and Schofieldas, as they are sent on an impossible mission: cross through enemy territory to warn their fellow comrades of an impending German ambush.
The movie won best picture and director at the Golden Globes and will probably win at the Oscars, for good reason, the hair, makeup and costumes were accurate and appropriate for the time, the sets were realistic, the Dunkirk-like cinematography was well done and showed what war really looked like in the 1900s, along with the vastness of the land and the dangers surrounding it, the acting was great from the entire cast and there was a lingering intensity throughout.
Although the previews ended up bringing a level of suspense that the movie couldn’t live up to, the locations were not always clear and the character development was lacking, I still found the movie to be entertaining and just the right amount of time to tell the entire story. In the end, I do think that this is one that is worth checking out.
