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.

Film Threat

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.

Rated: 8/10

Culture Mix

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.

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.

It’s hard to imagine how if you tried, you could make a worse film. Everyone involved should be embarrassed.
