The Great War

Unfortunately, despite his obvious passion for the genre, Luke doesn't yet have the cinematic chops (or clearly, the budget) to effectively put his vision onscreen.

It simply does not have the budget or craft for the scale it requires.

Luke fills his at times heavy-handed, anachronistic script with enough sincere emotion and grace notes to counter the film's physical and financial restraints, narrowly staged combat scenes and limited character development.

This inept drama about a segregated unit trapped behind enemy lines in WWI has little about it worth a recommendation — least of all its embarrassing treatment of racism.
