It's an interesting undertaking, to give what seems like an inherently pulpy concept a quiet, melancholic treatment. And for the most part it's very effective - great dramatic performances, well-paced direction. But, in the end, what is it about? It seems to be circling around the inhumanity of war, or of Man, or the quietly heroic everyman vs the immorality of those in power, but it never zeroes in on anything so this ends up just being a well-told story about a sad man who did some weird stuff.
