Incredible!!!

An absolutely amazing film production with a compelling WW2 story that is deserving of a far wider audience. I was kept on the edge of my seat for the full feature and at the end left wanting more from this newly turned 17 year old film maker who clearly has a unique talent and a great future ahead of him.Some of the outstanding camera work and effects was made even more impressive to me since Elliott only used a fairly standard camera and iPhone to produce this film.I look forward to your next film but only after you've passed your A Levels!Good luck!

Get a life

All the haters who have written totally negative reviews need to ask themselves if they or any of the spawn would have been able to do any better at 15 years old. Yes certain actors were wooden but the cinematography was very good imo.

I have no doubt some of the earlier efforts of what are now seen as great, would have been questionable.

Wtf

Worst movie I've ever seen, terrible acting, looks like it was shot on a bank security camera, horrible cgi. All the budget probably went to the picture on the damn box. However it was so freaking bad that I could not stop watching it. I'm still watching as I'm writing there's about 5 minutes left and I still don't know the characters names. All in all disaster of a movie but the guy who actually did this stuff seeing how it is based on a true story definitely a cool story for that guy to be telling, the story it's self is great.

A* for A Level or a very good University film, but not good for this release.

Acting at times is poor. Cinematography lacks finesse. Clunky in places, but for a teenager's film, it is a worthy effort. However, still 2 out of 10. Maybe with the funding in future, he'll turn out good.

Diabolical

I didn't need to hear of the budget this film was put together on. I'd already have been able to guess in the first 10 seconds. The blessing being its only 75 minutes long!
