Deathwatch (2002) When nine British soldiers find themselves lost behind enemy lines in 1917 during WW1, they decide to set up camp and defend the bunker. Little do they know, other forces are at work that are a bigger threat than the first they originally imagined. Deathwatch is a shame, it poses good ideas and is incredibly well acted, it stars future BAFTA award winners and acting legends like Andy Serkis! It just doesn’t really establish itself. To quote my girlfriend ‘you shouldn’t mix horror and war films really.’ I seen some say that the film is a psychological battle of wills, and some say otherwise, the problem here is because it fails to establish itself as one genre, it leaves too much to be desired. If it chose one you could narrow the choices down but it’s too open. It also takes a while to get going and the first half of the film is a tedious affair, offering heavy dialogue and not a lot else. The film does have its positives though, the acting is impressive, and contains some great performances, the soundtrack works well with the scenes, and when the moment comes for a dramatic scene, there’s a couple that really work and draw you in! Deathwatch could have been so much more, unfortunately it underperforms and doesn’t quite manage to explain itself enough, or make anything quite clear so that you know what’s going on, but the idea was there! Overall, Deathwatch is a film that had potential, and contains some great cast members. For some great acting performances, you can find them here, for an entertaining 90 minutes however, I’d probably edge my bets elsewhere! #Deathwatch #DeathwatchMovie #DeathwatchReview #Horror #WarHorror #WarFilm #1917 #AndySerkis #BritishWarFilm #Veterans #Omareviews #MovieReview #FilmReview #JamieBell #WarMovie #WarFilm #HorrorMovie #Supernatural https://www.instagram.com/p/B8OrrjulcbU/?igshid=1ktfxduf6bnk1
