The Real Review

This WWII survival thriller splits the room, with most reactions landing somewhere between mixed and positive. People are here for the visuals, which are crisp and immersive, but the story and acting aren't hitting as hard. Scott Eastwood as Castle carries the load, but even his performance gets a lukewarm reception, while Colin Hanks's Colonel Neale and director Rod Lurie's work get called out as weak spots. The biggest complaint is a lack of originality, with the plot of a soldier evading capture behind enemy lines feeling deeply familiar.
