“Mendes’s most purely ambitious and passionate picture since his misunderstood and under-appreciated Jarhead of 2005. It’s bold, thrilling film-making.”~Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

Aroview: Immersive epic war film from director Sam Mendes (JARHEAD) which evokes the impression of a continuous take to follow two British soldiers on a mission to deliver a message in enemy territory during the First World War.

2 stars (Good Try) The set designs and props used in the first hour were excellent - perhaps a bit of background gunfire was missing otherwise things looked pretty authentic. The second hour was a waste of time however as the screenplay went off the rails. ~Tubbs

1 star (Turkey) Mendes should have researched this fantasy. BEF had 22,000 pigeons in 1917 which would have made this trip in 45 min. Generals don't have war rooms in trenches. Trenches not new in 1917. First tanks 8 months later. Telegraph lines underground. ~Sandy
