...and I would say it's an interesting story, masterfully told.It was loud in places but no more than it would have been at the multiplex. I was able to understand most of the dialogue.
There's plenty of action, suspense and thrills to satisfy those except for the most jaded.
I would predict Mark Ryland will be nominated for another academy award.
The last war film I saw that was this intimate with the characters was probably Das Boot. Everything is up close - it really shows the fear on the young British soldier's faces.
But I can see why some have been disappointed because it's not your usual big battle, shoot-em-up war film - it has much more subtlety, intimacy and character than that.
Recommended for those who know what they're going to see (and not see) - I'd give it 3 out of 4 stars.
