March, 1918. C-company arrives to take its turn in the front-line trenches in northern France led by the war-weary Captain Stanhope (Sam Claflin). A German offensive is imminent, and the officers (Paul Bettany, Stephen Graham Tom Sturridge) and their cook (Toby Jones) distract themselves in their dugout with talk of food and their past lives. Stanhope, meanwhile, soaks his fear in whisky, unable to deal with his dread of the inevitable. A young new officer, Raleigh (Asa Butterfield), has just arrived, fresh out of training and abuzz with the excitement of his first real posting – not least because he is to serve under Stanhope, his former school house monitor and the object of his sister’s affections. Each man is trapped, the days ticking by, the tension rising and the attack drawing ever closer.

This is a very dark film examining the experience of a group of officers during WWI. The film is absolutely worth watching for the sake of Paul Bettany's performance of a lifetime. To my mind 'Gallipoli' is a better film about the war, but this film does capture very sensitively the inner battle taking place in each man facing the outer battle together.

Great but could have used more Polishing on the action part

Good movie but it's from a play script
