Penitent (2021)
10/10
Realistic, shocking and well worth a watch
5 August 2021
Firstly I am not going to provide any spoilers.

I served in the British Army during the timeline that this film was set. What I can say is this is one of the most realistic films I have ever watched, the tactics, the dialogue, the way that the gobby Corporal has a go at the young officer! All helps to create an environment that is very correct for the Army of the 90's (and not one that leaves me shouting at the screen "your holding weapon wrong" or "They would never say Gun or bullets".

The storyline has a few twists and turns with a nice big shocker and is engaging throughout. The cinematography and Film Score all feel like they belong to a film with a much larger budget and production.

The films highlights the Trauma of War and the lack of support provided by the Army and ultimately Government of that time. But really this story is much much more than a war film - But I'm not going to give any more away - watch it!

Excellent job done by Director and all crew and cast, and I look forward to the next piece by Webster films.
