"I never quite understood World War 1 in the way that I've understood other 20th century wars. It always felt a bit too distant and complicated. I read this book during the 2014 centenary commemorations of the war, and suddenly the conflict snapped into focus for me in a way it never had before."

Pretty unique take on a World War 1 war movie. Unique story and very unique styling.

Follows two individuals as they attempt to deliver an urgent message to the front lines in the trenches of WWI, directly in the line of fire.

There are some slow times during the movie but the highs definitely make up for the lows, and there will be emotions.
