Review of The Outpost

The Outpost (2019)
10/10
Almost Didn't Watch This Masterpiece...
19 January 2021
Warning: Spoilers
The 6.8 IMDB ranking nearly precluded me from viewing it---this is the best war movie I ever have seen. Everything--including the lack of music---works. Like All Quiet on the Western Front--where the lack of music--and the constant bomb noise--- makes you uncomfortable---this movie keeps you tense throughout---and when the soldiers--in the real-time midst of life and death battle struggle---strip down to give their brother Mace their hot pumping blood---this 62 year old man broke down into child-like sobbing---throughout the movie, the phrase "thank you for your service" is said as sort of an inside joke between the men...no amount of thanks--and no amount of reward--and no amount of award---can assuage the trauma endured.
