Wonderful character development!

Simply Perfect

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Man! I never really thought the old expression "War is hell" would come in handy for a movie review! Totally freaked me out and while not all killing is murder all murder is killing. Shakespeare killed the priest in a twisted kind of self-defense so this killing was not murder. I thought that was good enough for the sake of the kid's eternal soul. It did not occur to me that there was more and that the act that saved him had been done before the priest was bayoneted/shot! Brilliantly done. It would seem the Blue Eyed Pseduo-Frenchman was a metaphor of Judge and Jury! I concur this is a movie for thinkers who don't like to waste their time. This movie buff truly appreciates psychological thrillers way above slash-trash. This is my kind of movie experience. Bravo!

i saw the movie preview and i thought it was going to be bad movie but i was wrong the movie had a really good story line, the spacial effects were pretty great, and acting overall was great, one thing that didn't go with the movie was that the music it was not suspenseful or scary which was bad because if they were try to get to a point to scare who ever watching the it would be right and if you like suspenseful movies you would want to see this are movie and if you are a fan of horror movies like many of us are you would want to see this movie and over i would give this movie a had 8 out of 10 and if you have any movies that you think i should watch message me and i will watch and write review about itthank for reading

As a film for serious film watchers, the 5.9 score on IMDb does not do it justice. This undeserved low rating just shows me how many people should have chosen Jennifer's Body rather than Deathwatch when searching through the Horror section of their local or online movie rental store. WWI was characterized as a necessary war with meaningless casualties- countless bodies, muddy trenches, rats and insects everywhere- and this movie portrays these details to perfection. The only detail this film does not and cannot transfer over from the disasters of battle is the smell, yet the viewer can almost smell the rotting odors for the characters in the story. I judge a film overall by its cinematography, characters, setting, plot, and especially underlying themes. And this film's underlying themes are impeccably deep. So anyone who did not enjoy this film, or forgot it the moment the credits rolled, should stick to Hollywood and prime-time TV.Stranded in a deserted German purgatorial trench, a British squad is ordered to hold the area until reinforcements arrive. Upon finding the trench the soldiers find three Nazis, kill two and hold the remaining one soldiers captive. Every soldier is different in some way: one, a natural leader; the leader, a by-the-book soldier; another, a killer; a religious devout, a few normal soldiers, and finally a 16 year-old brown-nosed idealist. All are put to the test defending the trench, dealing with the POW Nazi, taking the orders of the capt, and maintaining their poise in a dismal situation. By the end of the film, the audience finds out how almost no soldier in war can sustain their moral integrity for long. Even the religious devout loses faith by the end. The film shows how most soldiers are committing to evil the moment they sign up for the military; how warfare is still a means of murder, though it may be for the patriotic cause of one's country; and how when under duress one must maintain their own path of morality and value to salvation, whether or not they survive or die.

Deathwatch is written and directed by Michael J. Bassett and stars Jamie Bell, Laurence Fox, Andy Serkis, Kris Marshall & Rúaidhrí Conroy.Members of Y Company go over the top and get separated from the rest of their regiment. Capturing a German trench, the lads think they have found the ideal place to dig in and keep safe. They reckon wrong as something evil dwells within.With this coming a year after John Carpenter rip off The Bunker (Rob Green), it feels like the "men in trenches" horror film should be left alone. For this is another tepid piece, hamstrung by an unimaginative script and bogged down by uneventful passages of play masquerading as atmospheric build up. Perhaps more galling is the waste of a good British cast. Bell wasn't ready for this type of film, his first after the marvellous Billy Elliot, asking him to lead off a piece full of one dimensional characters really isn't fair. There's some value in Fox's posh Capitano performance, whilst Serkis goes enjoyably OTT as a mentalist, but other than the brilliant set design there's little to cheer here.Wasted potential of premise and cast makes this a roundly disappointing effort. 3/10
