“I have to disagree with the comments comparing this movie with u0026#39;Hurt Lockeru0026#39; which is a superior movie in nearly every day and deserves its Oscar credits. This is however an excellent war drama telling a fairly unknown true story of Oliver Woodward during World War One. I for one had never heard of Oliver Woodward until watching this movie. Yes, to some degree, I would compare it to u0026#39;My Boy Jacku0026quot; and even u0026#39;Passchendaleu0026#39; and actually u0026#39;Tunnel Ratsu0026#39; the Vietnam war drama springs more to mind.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThere is also a love story thrown in for good measure and overall this is a very sensitive film with an unacceptable but seemingly necessary ending. The acting is superb throughout and the story fascinating in how it was told from beginning until the end.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFor those who like their dose of war dramas, this is clearly one not to be missed.”
