It surprisingly well paced and rather character-driven than actually a chronicle piece. Looks are stunning, whole flick is directed marveosly and characters flesed out so well, that now I'm eager to see spin-offs about every single one of them. Being a war movie, it mannages to capture the horrors of war pretty well, not making it fun attraction as some other flicks do. Nonetheless, there's a surprising amount of comedy, serving as a tone changer and means of coping with the situation by the characters.
Absolutely loved it, definitely a must watch one.
