Teddy C. I’ve watched a lot of war movies. And this one, in my eyes - masterpiece. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/09/25 Full Review Aadam P This is not meant to be a movie that you enjoy. It’s meant to break your heart and feel hatred towards war. War is not beautiful and this movie portrays it perfectly. The moment you connect to some character he dies. That’s war. Too many movies romanticize war and if you don’t like that then you’ll love this movie. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/10/24 Full Review Tph T Bad acting, bad script, bad directing and in many ways I see saving private ryan ripoff in this. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 11/20/24 Full Review r96 s An enthralling watch. 2017's 'Unknown Soldier' is excellent. To make a three hour run time go by in a flash is no easy task, but that's exactly what occurred for me whilst watching this - I probably could've taken another hour, it's that good. I was locked in, what helps is the film wastes no time and gets straight into the core of the story - and doesn't let up until the credits. Eero Aho is sensational as Antero Rokka, what a great performance both physically and emotively - such a memorable character. Aho is the standout, though by no means gives the only noteworthy showing. Jussi Vatanen as Ville and Johannes Holopainen as Jorma are superb too. Credit is due for the whole cast, in fairness. Every sequence hits as intended, the effects are convincing and the horrors of war are shown all too well. Pacing-wise, as alluded to at the top of my review, is perfection. The film only follows the Finnish side, as one would expect given it's a Finnish production, but does an admirable job at showing their good and bad elements. These next words will come as no surprise: I'd undoubtedly recommend that you watch this. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/17/24 Full Review Darren B This is a well-made film. It effectively portrays the brutality of war as well as its absolute futility in this case. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/13/24 Full Review Aron Johansson A brilliant and heartbreaking war movie for anyone interested in the finnish perspective in ww2. Stunning graphics and true to history, avoiding any Hollywood glamour. One of the best war movies to my knowledge. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/03/24 Full Review Read all reviews
