1918: Inspired by a recruitment speech by war hero Billy Bishop
(Michael Vanhevel), James (Sam Biskey) and Robert (Julian Seguin) sign up
for service in France to fight the Germans - and in the process become
heroes like Bishop. However, truth about war it's a dirty and merciless
business, with little room for heroics, as mostly they, with a ragtag team
of soldiers, sit in a ditch low on ammo, with rations running out, and
their captain (Sean C. Dwyer) bound to a schedule without the promise
reinforcements to arrive. And then our group of soldiers receive the order
to go over and try to take the enemy ditch, a tall order under perfect
conditions, but nothing short of a suicide commando as dire as conditions
are presently ...
Now given, this film every now and again loses its focus a
bit, being peopled with a few too many central characters, which at times
comes across as a bit confusing. But what Battle for the Western Front
is good at is showing the sheer terrors of the war: There's confusion,
merciless killings, no character's safe from receiving a bullet or deadly
bayonet wound, there are outbreaks of violence and rage on both sides,
there's blood and dirt and everything else. And that the film mostly uses
practical effects and runs very low on CGI only contributes to the thing's
intentional ugliness and in the process makes it a rather powerful piece
of war cinema.
