...the production design by Clayton Jauncey is particularly impressive with the dank, dripping trenches seeming to echo the futility of it all.

The film certainly deserves to stand alongside such films as Gallipoli (1981), Kokoda, The Odd Angry Shot (1979) and Breaker Morant (1979).

This is our first really good movie about the Western Front. It's not faultless, but it does what it does very well.

Perhaps the tension of the situation is not exploited quite as much as one would hope but this is an ambitious project that will resonate.
