Devils on the Doorstep

Went into this film with somewhat of high expectations as it was recommended to me by a friend, the beginning felt a tad slow but now as I sit here writing this I realize how important every scene in the beginning was. The pacing, acting, and dialogue all tie this film together near perfectly just driving to the climax that seemingly goes on for ages. The comedy sprinkled into this film was great, was not overdone and did not take away from the more serious nature of the film. The ending of this film is a real backstab. An ending that was not expected and once it hits you realize just how evil a human can be to someone else. Knowing the history of this war and waiting to see some of that brutality against the Chinese but never getting it only to then have the roles reversed and once again reversed was a very very interesting play on this history.
