A pseudo-doc about a historical battle, it manages to make things work very well despite the inherent anachronism of a camera crew in the 18th century. When it comes to depicting the blundering build up, the brutal battle, and the bloody aftermath, Watkins doesn't slip up. The use of closeups works very well in conveying agony and bewilderment and, the very methodical pacing and matter of fact descriptions clash with the grimy visuals and leave strong impressions.
