    The story of the men in the trench during the Battle of the Somme. Daniel Craig of James Bond fame is in it

    Highly copied from Galliopli, but a far better film. Daniel Craig could take out Russel Crowe anyday.

    Sad to say for me, I think I don't really appreciate this film... I find the storyline boring and I feel the battlefield part is too too too short... After waited for like 1 hour and 30 mins of talking and small actions, the battlefield scene took like 5 mins and ended the show... Don't really like it...

    This was alright, when I saw it I was doing stuff in my history class about the trenches so it kinda helped, was sad at the end though.

    The portrayal of trench life is particularly realistic and poignant within this film and the performance of Craig in particular is good. The long periods of nothing happening reflect the life of the trenches. However this also proves to be the films downfall as there is a possibility that the audience could get bored.

    Well made but overly soapy WWI drama featuring the usual mix of niave young recruits, hardened veterans and foppish officers who bond/squabble until the inevitable anti-war based conclusion.
