I appreciate this was a tragedy within a huge world wide tragedy. Hundreds of thousands of men lost their lives fighting for the good of mankind. The occurrence in history is one which brings years to my eyes. This film however, doesn't. I really don't understand how this film can be so overrated!! It has Harry Styles in it for gods sake. It captures some of the fear and danger but all we had was Cillian Murphy showing any signs of "shellshock" or any signs of war whatsoever. I've laid this film off for a couple of years to try and forget the hype before I watch it and, well, although it's decent it's not quite the awesome film I was expecting. Not quite Saving Private Ryan is it.
