War Blade is a low budget film but produced with expertise and backed up with actors who know their way around a script. The story flows well with nuance and helped me care about the characters. There's no big battles or grand sweeping air shots so it keeps it simple and intimate which is appropriate for this type of film. What really makes it for me is Daryl O' Donovan's score! It drives the narrative and sets the mood as all good scores should and sets it apart from a the really poor low budget films that I have given up on after 10 minutes. There is no exploiting of female characters but people who have hearing difficulties might be critical of the character who has poor hearing as his hearing only affects those who speak to him but he has no problem hearing his own voice!!
It wouldn't be my favourite war film about French resistance but it's worth a watch.
