About

You may like it if you want a serious, bleak war story about disillusionment and survival; Not for you if you prefer lighter pacing or modern-style war movies like Paths of Glory.

Pros: powerful anti-war message; intense battle scenes; strong performances | Cons: slow early pacing; dated acting style; sometimes heavy-handed
