Featured review
This was a war film and from the publicity posters I thought "Oh God - there is a narrative there - yet again" and I was right
I have admired the writer/director - interestingly named Steve Mc Queen - over the years for some great films
The only reason I went and discovered exactly what I thought originally was that a friend of mine wanted to see it so I went.
As we both came out we sat down and had a chat and we absolutely both said almost in unison "oh god there was so much not so hidden narrative about racism yet again being shoved down our throats"
It spoiled what may have been a good film - even if the actual storyline was rather weak - but time and time again it kept coming at you and frankly I (and many others) are completely fed up of the victim hood that pervades our daily lives now and seeks to DIVIDE people not being them together.
