The acting is altogether more than convincing and the music matches the situations. I sat there watching it and half of the movie I was like: "Oh shit oh shit [...]", shivering and clenching my teeth non-stop and holding my head. The different emotions in war are amazing... read more

"Once that first bullet goes past your head, politics and all that shit just goes right out the window." In 1998, Steven Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan brought an end to the black-and-white war movies of old that contain sanitary, romanticised wartime imagery, and eschew the true horrors of the battlefield. This classical approach to the genre was replaced with something visceral and gritty, effe... read more

"24.7. Netflix Ridley Scottin tarpeeseensa ylipitkässä sotaelokuvassa ovat sen hyvät puolet lopulta myös sen heikkouksia. Pitkät taistelujaksot ovat mallikkaita, mutta tällä kestolla menettävät kiinnostavuudestaan selkeän osan. Hahmot jäävät etäisiksi, mikä toki tukee todellisuutta kasvottomista sotilaista, mutta ei myöskään kummemmin jaksa näiden kohtalosta välittää. Josh Hartnett on olematon pääosamies."
