Or Saving Private Ryan meets Apocalypse Now.

Surprisingly low on action/gore for a war movie. Not that I need gore or anything, it's just surprising considering today's standards. This is like Dunkirk only more surreal. That's not a compliment. Dog fights aside Dunkirk was mostly forgettable.

Low on story/interesting characters. To be honest, when that soldier died I was quite relieved because he talked so much up until that point and nothing he said was either interesting Or amusing. I was grateful for the relative peace and quiet.

Surreal and bizarre. Someone takes a booby trap mine full in the face and is in one piece.

I didn't see the point in it. It wasn't original as it straight up rips off Saving PR. There was no story. No character development. No 'moral' if you like. It just seemed like a personal tribute to Sam Mendes' antecedent and the stories he told. That's great for Sam but what about the rest of us. This is not a film I'd watch again.

PS - note to filmmakers: I don't care about single-take camera shots. I have never watched a movie and thought 'wow that single-take shot was great'. I do, however, care about good story/character development. And I have often watched a film and thought, 'wow, that was a great story with some great character development.'
