Let me start off with a basket of chips. Then move on to the pollo asado taco.
Don't think I've been that bored in a cinema for quite awhile. It was impressive in some respects. The score did a great job of building tension but then if I broke concentration for a moment I remembered I ultimately didn't care about any of these characters or what happened to them and it made it hard to regain that tension. So the whole film felt a bit like a tug-of-war in that regard as far as pulling me in and then pulling me out. But at the same time, I can't fault the movie too much for that because it was set up in a very deliberate way and its more that it didn't suit my taste.

One thing I thought that was clever and done well was the fact you didn't see a single German the whole movie. At least not to my memory. The closest was seeing German planes, but no actual human beings. The entire thing was implied threat, almost like an old school horror movie. Somehow that may have made it more tense/terrifying. Felt like that was the ultimate dehumanising by not actually showing humans.

e: except maybe almost the very last scene where Tom Hardy is taken prisoner, but even then we aren't really shown faces
