Review of '71 (2014) by Hotfromcauldron — 27 Mar 2015
’71 is a ball of confusion - much like war. This anti-war film is a day in the life of a young British soldier trapped behind enemy lines. With so many characters hunting him down- why, who is fighting for what - and how - is hard to track.
And subtitles could save solid performances lost on American ears because of thick Irish brogues. Yet after the smoke clears, first time feature director Yann Demange is a career to follow - his horrific shock and awe moments are more powerful than American Sniper.
