I wouldn't recommend this movie... it was alright, but it was too short, an hour and a half didn't leave any real room for character development. If you want to focus on the unsung heroes of battle the world is unaware of, but is close to so many Australian's hearts you actually need to give those heroes a decent amount of screen time. I liked the inclusion of the "Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels", they deserve to make a showing in a film, unfortunately it was underdone, towards the end where you see them bring the men in, it had the tendency to go straight over the viewers head. The violence was captured well, I did not think it was overdone but the final battle needed to be longer and more climatic, I do not agree with the directors decision to show the films climax as flashbacks while an officer talks about how good Australia is, that would have been more fitting towards the beginning of the film.
The camera was well done, as was most of the acting, none of the average acting is likely to get picked apart, I just felt like quality over quantity was not the case with this movie, it felt a lot more like the director ran out of things to say, which should not have been the case.
It was a moving film, even if it did leave much of its content half baked, but it could have been a lot better as it only scratched the surface of so much of it's content. At the most I would only give this movie a 6-7. Not because what is in it is bad, simple because there is not enough of it and important areas of the content have been skimmed over.
