Video Review – 1917

November 26, 2019 by EJ Moreno

1917, 2019

Directed by Sam Mendes.
Starring George MacKay, Dean-Charles Chapman, Mark Strong, Andrew Scott, Richard Madden, Claire Duburcq, with Colin Firth and Benedict Cumberbatch.

In this video review, EJ dives into the Sam Mendes war film, 1917. Join him for what he calls the scariest war film since Come and See. EJ talks about the masterfully inventive cinematography from Roger Deakins and equally superb directing. Watch the review here, and be sure to head on over to our YouTube channel for more videos and exclusive content…

At the height of the First World War, two young British soldiers, Schofield (Captain Fantastic’s George MacKay) and Blake (Game of Thrones’ Dean-Charles Chapman) are given a seemingly impossible mission. In a race against time, they must cross enemy territory and deliver a message that will stop a deadly attack on hundreds of soldiers— Blake’s own brother among them.

1917 is set for release on Christmas Day 2019 in North America and on January 10th, 2020 in the UK, and features a cast that includes George MacKay, Dean-Charles Chapman, Mark Strong, Andrew Scott, Richard Madden, Claire Duburcq, with Colin Firth, and Benedict Cumberbatch.
