Eastern Front, 1943: The 5-man crew of a German Tiger tank is sent on a secret mission deep behind the fiercely contested front lines. As they journey through no man's land, they not only push further into enemy territory but also confront their own fears and abysses. Intoxicated by the methamphetamine of the Wehrmacht, their mission increasingly becomes a journey into the heart of darkness....

Don’t be put off by its structural and narrative shortcomings. This is still a very watchable, gripping and sometimes moving portrait of men at war, and likely the most realistic ever depiction of a second world war tank crew.

3/5

The film is morally complex in a way that makes it genuinely challenging to watch, largely because it commits fully to telling a WWII story from the German point of view.

4/5

"The Tank" follows a unique narrative path marked by clever foreshadowing and intriguing moral reflections, finishing up with a bold final act that immediately calls for a second viewing.

6/10

'Der Tiger' trades battlefield spectacle for moral decay and existential dread. Claustrophobic and technically impressive, it raises sharp questions about guilt and obedience, but struggles to turn its heavy ideas into compelling drama.

Suffered from flat spots that killed the momentum. About half way through I wondered when the story was going to unfold. And finally it did, with a hint of 'Heart of Darkness'.

Good movie. It's not your typical war story. At first, I didn't appreciate the ending. But, upon reflection, it works pretty well. I'd like to see more with this tank and crew. I think it would make a good series. Does anyone remember the 'Haunted Tank' comic books? There's plenty of material to draw upon...even more if told from the German point of view.

As a tank nut,this is the movie,better then t-34...one of the best films ive seen in along time,its not super accurate as the tank used in the film is a converted t-55...but its pretty close to what a tiger crew would of dealt with,the scene where they submerge the tank in the river is insane...and accurate...the tiger one was built with forging capabilities up to 13ft deep.it truly was feared and huge piece of miltary in ww2...great film...watch it once a week
