Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: The Lost Battalion Comment: It is unusual for an american film to catch the grim detail and horror of world war 1(usually the french or the english are the only good ones) .Maybe thats why there are very few American made films on the subject.They tend to like loud soundtracks and a happy ending, all of which do not fit with the story matter.
I am sure that this is also partially due to the fact that they were only there for the end of it (not including the Canadians and the Aussies who were outstanding).
However this film takes a good stab at what it was like and I would recommend it to fellow ww1 collectors.
Also It sure as hell beats the amateurish rubbish that was the trench.
