I think this could have been a solid 9/10 if it had dropped 30 minutes out of the first half. There’s a lot of scene setting, introductions, and foreboding, but not really enough for me to track who was who later on, or where things were. It’s tricky, as obviously they want to feature the people that were there, but it didn’t quite work from a film standpoint.

Once the action gets going it’s one of the most intense and engaging sequences I’ve seen in a war film. And it felt like it was just trying to be an accurate depiction of events, rather than pushing a message one way or another.
