I don't know maybe I have evolved or rather became disillusioned with my patriotic aspirations. I blame the internet, as it showed me that the enemy is within.

The movie is well shot and the music is haunting, the first half of the film is expository with few words in between, truly mesmerising. I would also add that I can't imagine anyone in the role of Schofield other than George MacKay.

But the plot, the script in general, and the ending felt like I was watching a cheap conservative hallmark channel drama on an extremely generous budget.

The cameos meant nothing to me, oh look there's Colin Firth - we will never see him again, oh look there's Benedict Cumberbatch and his scar as you were, then that other guy in the end. Good acting overall but too scripted!

Should you watch it? If anything it is only worth your while on a big screen, actually the movie has a surprising amount of jump scares ha! There's one moment in the film where I guarantee you will make you jump. So yea go watch but don't expect The Thin Red Line.
