Based on a true story, and set in WW2, the film shows a different side to the war than that of other great war movies such as saving private ryan. Set during war, however could be said it is not a war movie, it has action, romance and adventure.
Brilliantly shot, emotive and solid acting from its cast, Daniel Craig is the best yet, his performance beating that of his Bond films. Jamie Bell (king kong) and Liev Schreiber (X-Men Origins) are superb themselves.
Just over 2 hours long, but wish it was longer, at the end of the film we are also gives an insight into the lives of the protagonists after the war, making it more special and a great buy, Stunning in Blu-ray. A classic.
