Wissenswertes
Sergeant Nauyokas who appears later in the film disciplining two workers, is actually ex army and also appeared on bad lads army on UK's ITV.

Patzer
Several times Bill salutes the commanding officer without a hat or helmet on. The British armed forces must be wearing a hat in order to salute as does the senior officer. Without headgear soldiers just do a smart stiffening up of the body.

Inspired by true events

This is the first movie I've seen that was focusing on this topic - digging a tunnel to the German trenches. Up to this point, I've only ever read about the sorts of daring actions these coal miners did in the trenches in WWI.

The production value was high. It really did manage to convey what life was like for the diggers in these trenches. But even so, I'm sure it was no where near representing how it was really like in real life. But it was done well in this movie. It's realism clearly exceeding the realism of any recent war movies - particularly when compared to movies like "Dunkirk" by Chris Nolan.

Other pluses from this movie... the acting was superb, the drama and atmosphere created with all the special effects and set designs, simply brilliant.

SUMMARY: Inspired by true events with the war serving as the backdrop The main story is the courage, sacrifices and contribution the coal miners did in WWI.

VERDICT: Recommended viewing - specially if you're a history/war buff.
