8/10 Great War movie, loved the fact that this movie focuses on the effect it has on the soldiers. The battle with keeping their humanity. Charlie Sheen was great, but Willem Dafoe was outstanding. The way he died was truly heartbreaking, amazingly shot by the crew. They captured the moment so well!! Can highly recommend this
