![The Trench [Blu-ray]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/811mYdqt7pL.jpg)


Directed by William Boyd and with an all-star cast, The Trench is a story about a group of soldiers' last days before the battle of the Somme in 1916.The film paints a picture of the soldiers' emotional experience in the confines of the trenches, an experience running the gamut from boredom to fear, panic to restlessness.Billy MacFarlane (Paul Nicholls), 17, along with his older brother, Eddie (Tam Williams), has volunteered for service. The whole platoon, all of them in their late teens, depend on the war-hardened Sergeant Winter (Daniel Craig) and the scholarly Lieutenant Hart (Julian Rhind-Tutt) for their survival. When word arrives that the platoon will join the first wave of attacks, they do not yet know they will be present when the British Army loses the greatest number of soldiers in a single day in its history.

Character driven story about WW1
Certainly not the best film about life in the First World War. There’s limited action and the plot, such as it is, centres on a handful of largely stereotypical characters. Rind Tutt is the officer commanding the troops. A young Daniel Craig is the hard northerner and Danny Dyer, the jack the lad southerner.It half works; there’s a thread of backstory about the lead characters. There’s a bit of overview about life in the trenches. But neither are fully explored and the overall result is a film that, whilst watchable, doesn’t quite hit the spot.

Great movie and very well made too.
It’s a bit like Saving Private Ryan in a way, but in WWI. The camera follows the two main characters all of the time and the movie is excellently made. I would highly recommend watching this movie if you have an interest in WWI.
