Reactions are deeply split, with Scott Eastwood's lead performance as the stranded soldier Castle drawing the most fire, many find him flat and unconvincing as the story's anchor. The plot, a standard WWII survival tale, gets criticized for being predictable and thin on originality, which is where the bulk of the complaints lie. A few defenders point to Rod Lurie's direction and the film's visual craft as high points, but for most, it's a forgettable, by-the-numbers war flick.
