PHIL vs BILL Johan Earl is a better co-director/screenwriter than he is an actor. In this World War I drama, he plays one of three British soldiers pinned down in No Man’s Land ahead of an Allied bombing raid on German lines. His performance as a heroic sergeant major is surprisingly amateurish but the movie’s battleground sequences are tense and powerful, and the wartime themes are adeptly handled. There’s also a parallel storyline involving the hero’s wife at home that has a poignant twist. — Phil Wakefield.
