Deathwatch (2002)
Deliver them from evil
- Such a lovely batch of Lee-Enfields
- Diverse set of characters, especially considering the relatively small number
- World War with a bit of a thematic twist
- Actors do a good job
- Actual plot can be a bit confusing as to just what it is that's happening
- Characters can be a bit one-dimensional (ie "the holy man" or "the angry man")
- CG doesn't hold up quite as well on the larger gags as opposed to smaller ones
Opinion
It's nice to see something that's a little bit different, even when it happens to be set in the same period/setting as numerous other movies out there. People who like a bit of moral plays on things like war may enjoy this one more than others, but as far as a thriller flick goes it's certainly not bad. A bit violent and can be as psychologically depressing as the constant rain that batters the film, if nothing else it certainly captures the mood of the war.
In Theaters: 6 December 2002 (UK) In 1917, in the Western front, a group of survivors of the British Company Y reach the most forward German trench in a foggy night. They capture a German soldier that advises that evil is in the trench, forcing the soldiers to kill each other, and asks them to leave the place.
