Rob M I liked it. No, I do not think the British Army was this bad. And that such a series of events could happen to a single individual is quite far-fetched. But the realities of each set of difficult choices is close to real life dilemmas. I found myself sympathizing with the main character, but his unyielding approach fed into much of his misery. The main lesson was about self-delusion and expecting others to adhere to the same standards of honourable behaviour. Irony played its part with the fatal bottle of whiskey and the sedtious Life Magazine. take care rwmccoy Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/10/25 Full Review Michael R 3 hours and 11 minutes for this chopped up mess? Seriously. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/20/25 Full Review Richard M War, drama???? More like War, comedy!!!! Takes a while to determine it is actually a comedy. Just when I was about to turn it off i figured out it was a comedy. Then I had to watch it. Not bad as a comedy but terrible as a war movie. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/13/24 Full Review G. W This one deserves a bit more respect than the critics gave it... Granted it's not Band of Brothers but it's also not bad. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/26/23 Full Review Audience Member SWORD OF HONOR Good show. Entertaining and enjoyable WWII drama/comedy. Witty. Rolls along but rather choppy in certain places for a 193-minute film. On the whole provides more than a few chuckles. Daniel Craig was quite funny as Guy Crouchback. I think that a familiarity with Evelyn Waugh's "Sword of Honor" trilogy of novels helped me to better appreciate the biting satire of the piece, including some of the more subtle points of the story that the film seemed to just gloss over, for example, what exactly the sword of honor refers to. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member ok film bit slow in places and action scenes to short i thought Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
