That seems a bit strange that it wont open.

According to the papers and the Birch site, it starts tomorrow.

 

I just got back from seeing it.

I rather liked it. I don't want to say any spoilers so I wont say what happened.

 

Yes I have seen it and thought it didn't do the book justice. I collect war movies, but I'd never bother to add that one to my collection.
I do own the book that was published last year.

Well whadya know, the shady charactor just got promoted to warrant rank.

 

To answer your question all it is necessary to say is that for Australia's second World War Gallipoli, it could have and should have been a hell of a lot better all round.

For it's subject, which Australia in general, quotes with great pride as the place where Australians finally stopped the Japanese advance, it just isn't good enough.

 

with the scarcity of any Digger films I'll certainly keep my eye out for it ,its not staring jason donavon though is it?He does seem to have been THE ww2 digger of choice for the last 15 odd years....

 

Us Brits will be able to see it soon, released date for DVD is 30th June.

to the members who have seen this film what did you think of it ??
best. rat

 

I know this is an old thread but I picked this film up from
blockbuster last year for £5.00 and have only just got
round to watching it...so for my two pennies I thought it
was a good film and well worth a look

 

This was a pretty boring movie. Most of the scenes were repetitive.

 

Picked it up and watched it last night, I thought it was rather good !!!

 

Yes, if it was not centred around such an important WW2 battle. Those Aussies definitely deserve a better movie!

I understand that it was also caused by the limited budget of the producers, but... it could have simply been better.
