During WWI, two British soldiers are tasked with a mission to stop an ill-fated attack on a German fortified position.
I'm ashamed to admit that I don't really know that much about WWI, aside from the basic facts, such as cause, combatants and the immediate outcome and how the terms basically made WWII inevitable.
The movie itself is gritty and action-packed, with an occasion lull to let the viewers catch their breath before things blow up again (sometimes literally).
The British accent and slang is for the most part easy to understand. The acting is very good, with special nods to George Mackay as Lance Corporal Schofield, who is the protagonist of the movie.
Recommend if you're looking for a good war movie.
