Asa Butterfield is the new soldier who's assigned to be the eager baby-faced innocent. He encounters a kind Paul Bettany and a damaged Sam Clafin and they talk a lot. Judging from the continual claustrophobic encounters, it's obvious that this came from a play. The actors all get a chance for dramatic moments, but they don't add up to much impact. The director's one-note approach and the continuous despair get tiresome. Despite all the death and drama, this movie never builds to any emotional payoff. Expand

This movie as mostly boring, even as a period piece it didn't get even the least bit interesting. Bettany is the standout, natch, everyone else lesser by ordinates.

I don't know, for me it felt too boring. I mean I get what they wanted to show - what soldiers went through in those times, but still, this then would've been better as a book or something like that, because this felt a bit too boring while watching.
