Nonureva Really Surprised!

VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

drnoose I understand that the book was episodic, but that does not mean it translates into a good film that way.Poorly directed and acted, not to mention produced. How tough would it have been for the actors to at least have gotten haircuts? Not the best film about WW1. Not even close. Perhaps having one person being the producer, writer and director is not the best idea? The actors were not in the least convincing.Someone should have said "Whoa" before this was put together. Oh, and I wrote this review using the same disjointed style the director of this movie used. Do you think it made for a better review this way? I did not think so.

cobra_freak_006 OK i have to get this off my chest first of all to the people saying its the greatest war movie ever made. the movie itself i felt was poorly made. mostly because of the bad acting. the acting is pretty bad even for a Indi film. but besides the acting being bad it really isn't that bad of a movie. there's lots of action, the story is easy to follow, and the characters are even likable which is surprising by their acting. another plus is that it is a World War 1 movie. you hardly ever get to see or even hear about World War 1. this movie definitely got what war can do to a person mentally. this movie also is good for accuracy. overall if you can overlook the bad acting this is still a really good movie.

gorinclan Company K is an outstanding war film that tells a great story without resorting to clichés or stock characters. The story lines of the various members of the company weave a compelling tale of marines in World War I. They experience the discipline and training of boot camp and go off to war not expecting that death can come from unexpected places. For example, a sergeant and his squad are wiped out by an incompetent Lieutenant's order and a marine private is knifed by a boyish German prisoner while trying to play a trick on the prisoner.I read the book by William March and the movie was pretty faithful to the book. I recommend this movie to others.

Jonathan Howell The old National Guard ad used to say, "It's not just a job, it's an adventure!" Robert Clem's adaptation of William March's book of the same title retains the overall humanity of men in combat but is clear to dispel any myth of glorious combat action. Service men and women will enjoy this film for its accuracy and will relate to the characters and their experiences. The book is a timeless classic. Robert Clem has done a masterful job of portraying the story for us to enjoy and learn from.This film is a timeless examination of how combat affects men and their lives after the combat is over. As an officer in the U.S. Army myself, I recognize and relate to the characters and their experiences. There are genuine events portrayed that have been repeated time-after-time since William March wrote his book. As a primer for the military, this could help leaders to identify when their subordinates are facing moral dilemmas perhaps at the cost of their own life. It will help the first line combatants to remember to remain vigilant or suffer the consequences of inattentiveness. It will also help the general public to understand a bit more what is involved with service in the military.Certainly there is a close camaraderie demonstrated in the film among the fighting Marines. That camaraderie is present today too. Those men struggled upon their return home when their close knit organization was no longer around to provide support (positive or negative). Today's veteran also all-too-often returns home facing a public that really doesn't understand or is often unwilling to accept the fact that waging war is not simply a job.Today's U.S. Military is all volunteer and most personnel re-enlist themselves to defend the ideals of freedom defined in the U.S. Constitution. The military and society are partners receiving mutual benefit in turn for that service. I think this film is clear on long-term effects from combat.I appreciate Mr. Clem's attention to detail and accuracy in creating this film. His adaptation is a poignant work of craftsmanship. I highly recommend this film.
