Saw it last night. With the exception of They Shall Not Grow Old (which used real footage from WWI ) it was quite moving. To be honest, the plot Lin is the same in dozens of movies(suicide mission to save troops on an eve of the battle) but like you said the entire movie is 1 long continuous shot. No transitions. No annoying MTV flash cuts. The only thing I can compare it to is Hitchcokes ‘Rope’ or the beginning of T’ouch of Evil’. The set for this movie was accurate as it could be. The first part of the movie they follow 2 men through 35 minutes of a trench, and the rest was a pure No Mans Land Hell. Nice adrenaline rush. Very well done.
Thanks for your review.
