I enjoyed this more than I expected. I kind of thought I'd had my fill of WW 1 & 2 films and mini series but the opening of this film really drew me in.

The opening production and sets were fantastic and the simple following of the two characters worked well to put you in their place. Unfortunately as the film went on it became a harder and harder to suspend disbelief. Until toward the end you were getting every single Hollywood trope which took away any sense of realism the film had built up at the beginning.

It still has a lot of wonderful moments and is well worth watching I would say just for the production values and sets. I just wish things would've not got quite so silly toward the end.
