after repeat watching my rating may go up . i love the movie the thin red line and this movie remind me of it strongly except it do not have the excellent cinematography that film do . i watch it because i like robert carlyle a lot and be not disappoint by his performance or any other of the actor on both side of the war . the pacing be perfect and the violence be very brutal and sometimes unexpected but effective . the message it deliver to me make the movie for me . love thy enemy . just realize that we be all just human catch up in something we do not start . i highly recommend this movie if you like a film make with compassion .
