—NOT the time for still more WW2 retreading.
ALSO the cast doesn’t look, sound or feel the least bit
authentic.
This ain’t Weir territory.
HE’s apparently getting lousey advise from his managers.
Hope it’s released in Australia. I definitely want to see it. Love Peter Weir Movies. Always fantastic photography.
Looks awesome. Weir is always a good director, and the cast is great. I’ll definitely see it.
