This isn't an Academy winning movie but it is good. It has a nice script, definitely has good acting and good tension moments. The ending seems a bit precipitated but it is, overall, a good movie. Don't pay attention to the haters that have something against British movies, that's nonsense.

Wasn't going to review but decided aftet some negatives
Truly abysmal
Well I waited and waited to see the soldiers getting back to Dunkirk. Instead of which we get a truly woeful low budget script about a soldier being forced some German boxers. The escape is represented by a shot of the White Cliffs at the end. Why do they bother to turn out this sort of rubbish.
Average at best, poor at worst - not worth the time to watch.
I watched this movie open-minded (It supposedly had an 8 on IMDB, before the negative reviews came in). I was fairly disappointed straight from the beginning, mostly due to VERY illogical behavior from the main characters, rather average acting, terrible foreign languages (I speak German and I can't understand half the German lines lol),weird plot turns.
Right in the beginning the characters are faced with a situation where they can a) do nothing b) attack or c) find a creative solution. They script, almost like always, chooses the most boring option A rather than either the logical or the creative options. That makes the movie very boring to watch, without any surprises.
I was constantly hoping for some kind of interesting turn of events, but even when the options were presented the makers decided to take the greyest possible choice and return back to flatline. The movie essentiall is trying to portray ww2 by showing a horse and wagon, people in uniforms and 'old barns' - otherwise it's decidedly absent and the story is really just about a few guys who make dumb choices all the time.
Barely worth the watch despite that I'm heavily into ww2. Sorry, I'd have liked to like this!
