This is a little known bit of WW1 history and a well executed treatment by Tin Hat Productions (Callum and Andy Burn). Given their minuscule budget, they have created a technically accurate and believable film about the WW1 tank crew stranded in no-man's land in 1917. 

Overall the acting is well done, the dialogue could be louder in sections and there lacks some explanation in certain sections (either through dialogue or visuals - e.g. how do they get shot inside the tank? I presume the armour wasn't very thick?). Overall this is a magnificent effort in the style of many of the 1940-50 great war movies. 

The behind the scenes are worth watching afterwards to see how well they have crafted the set to develop a realistic tank interior completed with the claustrophobic heat and sounds.

The action genre features fast-paced, thrilling, and intense sequences of physical feats, combat, and excitement. The characters of these stories are involved in daring and often dangerous situations, requiring them to rely on their physical prowess, skills, and quick thinking to overcome challenges and adversaries.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.
