I am really interested in the Falklands War, so it tells you something when I said that
I occasionally struggled to keep watching. The war scenes are long and hard to process, because everything is dark.
The best part for me was the way the movie showed how the conscripted soldiers really were out of place in this war. I had to serve a year as a conscript, so I understood that part. I missed that there was nothing about how the surrender went, anything about interactions with the enemy, or anything about arriving back home.
And then there is the last line, during credits. That expresses a controversial political opinion, which is totally out of character at the end of this movie. The movie was about human suffering (that of conscripted soldiers fighting a war they do not want to fight, nor do they have the training, or the equipment to fight). The movie was not about who should rule the Falklands. So, a statement about that at the end is strange.
