this be part of channel 4 lose generation first world war season and and it be a huge mistake to show this so soon after their own very good drama doc about the somme . it be a mistake to show it at all . novelist william boyd be a terrible film director and screenwriter who have no real grip on his subject . instead of take a fresh look at the run up to the battle and he use every old cliché you have see before in the lip of every old stereotype you have see before . most of the cast be so bad i have forget their name . only daniel craig and julian rhind tutt come out with any credit . very badly photograph too and with the trench clearly an interior and far too clean . just terrible . channel 4 should have show something like all quiet on the western front and which hasn not be on telly in year .
