The Trench
112 minutes (15)
Director: William Boyd
review by Ian Shutter
Prior to the Battle of the Somme, frontline troops prepare,
nervously, stoically, or not at all well, to face the enemy. Lots of blood in the
mud, and unconscionable tragedy as hordes of young recruits are casually slaughtered
by snipers in a lush green field, this is a curiously affected, low-budget British
drama, which, so promptly after the commendable Regeneration and the superior
Saving Private Ryan, seems more exploitative of their success than it actually
is.
Watchable? Yes, but on the dull side for a film of such a momentous history
lesson.
