Beneath Hill 60

I'm pretty biased toward war movies, but this one was a pretty solid flick about a little known part of WWI. There's not a whole hell of a lot here for people who aren't looking for a war movie, but it's not the most violent of war movies either. Half the time, I put on a movie and zone out, but this one commanded my attention from the first five minutes until the credits rolled. Check it out, it's entertaining from start to finish.

Grim

Behind every solid claustrophobic scene is dodgy writing just waiting to strangle it.

An interesting story that was well shot and mostly well acted. The only thing that stops me rating it higher was that the writing used a lot of really cliched tension building tactics that distracted from what were naturally tense situations. It's understandable that the "pacing" in a war movie is somewhat unrealistic because in reality there is a lot of standing around waiting in war but when things are actually happening there is no need to artificially create tension. It's a war!
