It all feels a bit familiar, and matters are not helped by the fact that the actors playing Belgians and Germans are all speaking in English in an assortment of accents.

This is not a shades-of-grey kind of movie. Nor is it one where the characters have more than two dimensions or the hint of a personal life beyond their immediate plot function.

A sturdy, engrossing drama conveyed in a somewhat retro mode.

The Last Front is a painful depiction of the destruction of war that will leave you haunted long after the credits stop rolling. Highly recommended and worth every minute.

Filled with generic dialogue and bad acting, the action drama The Last Front re-uses the same formulas in many other movies about an underdog hero. In this case, it’s about a Belgian farmer leading a resistance against German invaders during World War I.

Hayet-Kerknawi has cast the small roles well and the film remains involving throughout.

This movie kept me quite engaged. Despite lukewarm reviews I really liked it. I felt the horrors of warm , but other feelings of regrets, happiness, and joy. Give the movie a chance. You won’t regret it.

Great performance by the lead and strong action scenes! A little uneven in tone.

A reasonable war film with some brutal moments. A little unsteady and disjointed in parts. The sets and scenes were realistic and the action gritty. Main actor ( from Game of thrones ) was a strong performance but some of the other actors wooden or a little caricatured. Ok for a free night but I wouldn't put aside planned time to watch it.

I thought that it was pretty good. I have seen and read this story before, but the acting and the cinematography were really incredible. I am interested to see what comes next from this director. It is worth a viewing.

This movie begin as interesting plot but it became apparent that the father was not happy with his psychopathic son yet did not stop him. It got a little ridiculous because he let his son continue murdering women and children and civilians and kept telling him don't do that but never stopped him. It was stupid. I stopped watching because it made no sense that he would allow his son to keep randomly killing everyone
