Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Good for Costumes; Staging
As a film, it's a weak jumble of poor directing, and I feel bad for the actors, many of whom gave earnest performances, but bad directing can make even the best look foolish. WHERE THIS FILM SHINES, is the costuming and the construction details of the trenches and bunkers. If you're in the theatre and you are dealing with a period piece, watch this for the uniforms and the sets.
Rating:  - The trench-- nothing else?
I enjoyed this flick because I love anything WW1 but you can tell that the budge was restrictive because almost evvery shot was in a trench! One the plus sife it explores the personality of the guys getting ready to go over the top one 7-1-16 the ffirst day and the sad day of the battle of the Somme....any who says Hague was not a dope! Not the best but a must see for the WW1 buff.

The decision to never leave the trench until ... Read More
Rating: - The Trench
If you like World War one, you will enjoy this title, but if you are into a real historic view of Trench warfare you will find faults. Acting is solid, but the sets are too clean,even for early in the war. This production seems more stage play, than movie. If you can rent it first, see it before you decide to buy it.
Rating: - Pretty Bad!!
The expectations for this film embraced the word, "epic," but all-in-all, this one missed the boat by orders of magnitude. As a film that was likely intended to show the "reality" of life during trench warfare in World War I, it is an utter failure. SO many missed opportunities here! This film came about as close to accurately portraying trench warfare as "Apocalypse Now" did in accurately describing the Vietnam War, which was positively ludicrous. In fact, this film is so bad that it makes the ... Read More
