This movie is the polar opposite of band of brothers. Instead of action & tactics, you have awkward long scenes of nothing. Left me looking around the theater to see if anyone was loving it, and everyone looked highly bored. It's long scenes of nothing, where they're trying to invoke emotion I guess, but left me daydreaming because it was so boring. There were about 5 or 6 explosive scenes that were just a blip of the movie, like they had to add some action to qualify as a war movie. If you saw the commercial advertising this movie, and thought it was an action movie, you will be very let down ... as the commercial showed every action scene there was! Anytime there was some action, it stopped right away with no furtherance of that action, just move along. Weird, odd, not worth the $, and I saw the senior $5 matinee. If you love love love boring brit tv, you'll love this. Then it ends in the middle of a scene ... when credits started to roll, I looked around, and people were still kicked back, legs up, eating popcorn ...... we looked around like "that's it?". Horrible to call this a war movie, I mean, yes it took place in battle, on a battlefield, but the story rolls soooo slowwww. Wish I could get that 2hrs back.
