A good movie

I wasn't really sure what to expect from this movie but since it has a decent reputation and since I have a weak spot for Humphrey Bogart, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, to be honest, it took me a while to get into the damned thing. Indeed, they really took their time to set the whole thing up and it didn't help that they focused too much on Robert Francis's boring character and his even more boring romantic sub-plot. In fact, I think I only really cared about the last 30 minutes but this last act was fortunately quite spellbinding to behold. Indeed, Bogart onceย  again really impressed me and you have to respect a famous actor like him with such a status willing to play someone so vulnerable and clearly mentally disturbed. His performance was just really impressive, especially during the climactic scene when his character was in the witness chair. Eventually, I have never been in the army but it must be terrifying when you get to see the highest man in the hierarchy apparently losing his mind in front of you, especially in the heat of the battle. Anyway, to conclude, even if it didn't completely worked for me, it was still a decent watch and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.ย
