So I watched it late a couple nights ago. That was dumb. This is one that sticks with you awhile.

I didn’t know the history of it, so the outcome was kind of in doubt in my head.

The thing that the film really did well was show the suffering he endured.

Spoiler!

His brothers dying, all of his buddies dying and his wife and child in peril - those notes really hit hard for me. Pine really knocked that part of it out of the park. That’s the part that hung around for me.

It also wasn’t what I expected in terms of length of historical events. It’s pretty much one battle. Other stuff happened but it was one battle. But that really allowed them to build up the suffering.

Really well done imo. It didn’t try to do too much and did what it set out to do really well.
