Warning: This is not a war film
About 5% of this film has combat scenes in it. It's mostly about how badly the French dealt with their African and North African soldiers in WW2.
Which is fine. Except it's badly directed and dull. And it has Jamel Debbouze in it who's an OK actor but in real life only has one arm.
The film makers think they get away with this by having him walking around with a prosthetic arm tucked in a pocket.
I gave this film the very rare distinction of leaving before the end as it was so slow. And I like French movies! -

We wanted to watch this movie due to the subject matter which is the reason it seems to be rated so highly.
However the film contains such a badly designed plot and such contrived 'racism' scenes that it really failed in our eyes.
Some of the performances are good (though it is sad that they would have us believe in a one armed soldier, are there really so few actors?), but the roles they play seem to change throughout the film.
For us the film was just badly made, it seemed like it just didn't know how to say what it wanted to say. There are a lot worse films to watch but there are many better war movies and 'downtrodden' movies. -
