1917 (2019)
Spyro Rating: 6,0 /10 as "a war film"
Director: Sam Mendes
Stars: George MacKay, Dean-Charles Chapman, Mark Strong, Richard Madden
1917 is a war film from the perspective of British lines during the First World War. While characters and the mission are fictional, the events are inspired by an actual tactical withdrawal of the German lines. Since war films rarely have something unique to offer, in times they don't choose a real story it gets hard to recommend them.
The mission that falls under two soldiers is to deliver a message across territory that no army controls. It's a race against time to warn 1.600 soldiers who are about to charge into an enemy trap.
What 1917 offers to the genre are some shots in the trench lines and one continuous shot of British troops charging to battle. Other than the script, a second thing I cannot understand is why the amazing casting was focused in second roles rather than the prime ones.
