With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Great for anyone who likes secrets inside secrets and fans of prison dramas. Nobody is quite who they seem. Sits nicely alongside Inglourious Basterds or The Longest Day. The walls close in, and so does the tension.
- The mood
- Intense.
- The pace
- Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 39 min.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1961: an older pace and style.
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
An American Army tank unit is trapped in a small French town in the Ardennes unaware that a spy amongst them is providing the German counterattack with vital battle information.
