Daniel Craig stars in this riveting drama that follows a group of young British soldiers stationed on the Western Front during World War I. Directed by novelist William Boyd and featuring an outstanding supporting cast including James D’Arcy (Agent Carter) and Ben Whishaw (The Danish Girl), The Trench is set on the eve of the devastating Battle of the Somme.

An hour of boredom (weeks of these poor guy’s lives) capped off with everyone dying in the most pointless battle of that week in WWI, and one of the worst loses that the British have ever suffered in a single day. Sad and pointless, but that’s what I’m learning about that war.
