David Stratton The Australian 04/29/2020
...the production design by Clayton Jauncey is particularly impressive with the dank, dripping trenches seeming to echo the futility of it all. Go to Full Review Jim Schembri The Age (Australia) 08/19/2010
3.5/5
The film certainly deserves to stand alongside such films as Gallipoli (1981), Kokoda, The Odd Angry Shot (1979) and Breaker Morant (1979). Go to Full Review Paul Byrnes Sydney Morning Herald 08/19/2010
4/5
This is our first really good movie about the Western Front. It's not faultless, but it does what it does very well. Go to Full Review Margaret Pomeranz At the Movies (Australia) 08/19/2010
3.5/5
Perhaps the tension of the situation is not exploited quite as much as one would hope but this is an ambitious project that will resonate. Go to Full Review Julie Rigg MovieTime, ABC Radio National 08/19/2010
How they did it, and what it cost is the real story. I'm glad it's told as well as it is. Go to Full Review Darryn King The Vine 08/19/2010
Has every chance of joining the ranks of Gallipoli and Breaker Morant. It may even contribute to future generations' understanding of the Australian experience in the Great War. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

07/27/2024 Hidden gem! Must see! See more 05/04/2021 Interessante racconto sulla prima guerra mondiale, sicuramente meno gettonata della seconda; dal punto di vista di un gruppo di soldati australiani esperti in escavazione ed addetti ad operare sotto le linee nemiche nella costruzione di tunnel sotterranei. Le vicende raccontano un avvenimento importante della guerra ma non molto conosciuto in quanto non spostò le sorti della battaglia. I personaggi sono ben definiti seppur non destano grande interesse; il finale è crudo e ad effetto. See more 04/02/2021 Fantastic film, epic and action packed. Townsville provided a perfect location for filming. I have watched it many many times and will continue to do so. See more 11/17/2019 cricky! what a wallidingo of a movie. See more 02/26/2019 Very good movie! A must see. See more 02/11/2019 Great in every respect. Well worth watching. Better than Gallipoli. See more Read all reviews
