possibly the most tedious war melodrama ever make . long and empty scene . from a long and empty script . cate blanchett be an interesting look woman and no doubt . but i think about half the running time of the film be compose of close ups feature her amazingly limited act range represent from nervous all the way to tremulous . after about twenty minute and i just grow tire of look at her . and in this film and she about all there be . not one moment of this whole tortured mess felt genuine . but and hey and the scenery be great . so one have to give france and the second unit it prop .
