Overall, the film was pretty bad.
A good thing is that Andrew is a pretty boy who is also a sneaky boy. The bad things are that you shouldn't get a British actor to do an American accent and stop jumping from serious moments that show people who are traumatised from war to glamorous scenes of an attractive actor showering. They should use better CGI cause the explosions look like fireworks and they should also use better fake blood cause it looks like ketchup running out of his hair (take tips from Hitchcock). The pacing of the film is also really bad cause of the big jump in the middle. However, the idea of a soldier who doesn't want to fight is pretty good but the real guy who died deserves a better film.
