REVIEW:
Another movie I've been wanting to watch for a while. Thank goodness for long flights ;) 

It is 1917 and war is raging on. Two soldiers are assigned to race against time and deliver a message to stop 1,600 men from walking straight into a deadly trap. They will have to go behind enemies lines to get there.

One of the main reasons I wanted to watch this is because WWI is highly overshadowed compared to WWII. It is rare we get a WWI movie, plus....that trailer? How could you not need to know what happens?

I hate to use this word....but this movie was beautifully done. Yes, it is war and dark and filled with death. But they did a great job. 

Honestly...I was speechless when I finished this movie. It was so good. The acting was amazing. The tension had me on the edge of my seat. 

The scene in the woods gave me chills. 

All-in-all, this was great. I want to watch it again NOT on a plane. This time on my TV screen that is bigger. Great cast, great music, great story...great everything. Def 5 out 5 from me. 


ONE WORD SUMMARY: Chilling

Yea for finding a great film. I don't really care for war movies, so I'll pass, but I hope you have the chance to watch again on a bigger screen. Where were you flying that you had a long flight?

My husband and I saw this one in the theater and were awed, too.

Jen, awww no worries. War films are not for everyone. I went to LA for family stuff.

Sophia, I got to see it on my bigger screen and loved it even more.
