Respected director Lewis Milestone struggles to achieve the sound of fury as in Western Front.Well,there's exclamation alright and noisy distraction but where has all this aesthetic poetry gone?A minor triumph in spite of the many introverted sequences and non-linear battles.
Very underrated and underappreciated WWII infantry platoon action movie, although the movie is more concerned with the individual soldier than the battlefield itself. Profoundly thought-provoking with an underlying anti-war message.
Excellent World War 2 movie. Gets off to a slow start and is more of a character study of the members of the platoon than an action movie. Much of the movie concerns the banter between the soldiers interspersed with realtively brief fighting scenes.
Low budget war movie, told simply and powerfully. One of the best WW2 movies made.
No recent reviews.
