About

You may like this if you enjoy tense courtroom dramas set against war and stories about duty and scapegoating, with a strong historical edge; Not for you if you want fast-moving action or a light, straightforward war film, like Gallipoli or A Bridge Too Far.

Pros: gripping courtroom drama; strong performances; thoughtful themes | Cons: slow start; heavy dialogue; limited nuance
