Jim Collins, a young man from the outback, leaves his family-run sheep station to join the ANZAC and fight on the western front with hopes of making a difference. Soon, the realities of the muddy, ruthless, and entirely unforgiving war takes its toll on Jim. As the men in the battalion are whittled away and hope becomes a distant memory, a final chance at redemption at the Battle of the Hindenburg Line, one of Australia's greatest WW1 military victories. Jim must risk death or forever carry the burden of leaving yet another man behind.

I had trouble suspending disbelief. To start with, for all the effort that has gone into digging trenches and sourcing uniforms, I was never entirely persuaded that the heroes were fighting on the Western Front.

There were times, particularly early on, when I couldn’t help but think, “These are just actors performing in a hole in the ground.”

The movie just doesn’t differentiate itself from other films of its ilk.

The script needs a bit more time, a bit more work, the direction needs a bit more finessing, the acting is as it can with the writing and direction, and the cinematography saves the film from feeling like a bit of a waste of time.

2.5/5

Before Dawn had the potential to rise above an oversaturation of World War movies, but fails to deliver substantive character development and smooth editing.
