Second entry (after The Rundown) in the "Peter Berg throws his cast off steep hills box set"
Had low expectations for this which probably helped as I thoroughly enjoyed it. The middle section is heart-pounding and everything is neatly orchestrated through editing and camera work. Never jingoistic or overly-stylised, this is a very decent modern war film.
Often hits home the rapid escalation of events troops must experience all the time. Found it more moving than Captain Phillips, which also dealt with people trapped amongst hostiles

Found the take on the character different to how he seemed in the short story, but it was still an interesting film.Movie comment on The World's End
