Not your usual war movie with an amazing score.
A stellar performance form all leads, beautiful music and great plot
An interesting gem of a film bolstered by a tight, intriguing script and phenomenal performances, as well as a mesmerizing score.
The film is a clash of cultures and different ways of dealing with friendship, honour, discipline or homosexuality. Briliant film
One of the most touching songs I've ever heard come from this movie, which itself is truly amazing
There's no way Bowie's brother was a better singer, highly inaccurate movie.
Good movie but honestly worth it for the soundtrack and Bowie alone.
Una parte de la guerra difícil de ver en otros lugares. David Bowie muestra su talento para la actuación.
Good movie but honestly worth it for the soundtrack and Bowie alone.
Slow military drama, alright acting and it has a satisfying payoff, it just takes a long time getting there
