Passchendaele (2008)
7/10
A Watchabe War Romance
23 April 2011
This is no 'Saving Private Ryan' or 'Letters from Iwo Jima', the two top war films that come to my mind. And I have no idea about the historic accuracy of the episode in WWI depicted here. I am not interest in that either. I was watching a movie and I knew it.

As a film, a romance story set in the backdrop of war, it is not a bad one. The brutality of war was well depicted, and the battleground setting fairly well done. The acting was decent by all actors in the film, and the romance credible. As far as I am concerned my 2 hours was a worthwhile investment and I got entertainment out of it.

I noticed some reviewers rated this film one-star. Don't know if it is because this is a Canadian production. I bet if the same film came from Hollywood most of the one-star ratings simply would not be there. Just a thought.
