The historical perspective is interesting, but as cinematic storytelling, it leaves much to be desired. The acting is pretty awful all around, especially Tom Keene. The writing isn't that great either, with a lot of things being spelled out that don't need to be, and characters that are flat as a board. The self-serving "Sally" was a particularly groan-worthy and ham-fisted addition. However, the ditch-digging finale is mighty impressive, and almost makes the rest of it worth sitting through.
