This is an incredible film that looks at the moral struggle of being a soldier in world war 1 and the drastic punishment procedures used by the British army at the time. This is quite a deep film and not for the hard-core action film lovers. It has a minimal if not non-existent use of CGI preferring to use visual effects in the place of digital ones. If you liked this film then I highly recommend the book thief as it's in a similar setting with the same emotional moral conflict.
