Ben W @Username618 Mar 21 So as far I recall, this was the summer of two tank movies... ... and I think I preferred Buffalo Soldiers, sorry. See more dave s @RT68722908 02/06/2023 Other than the opening shot and the brief final scene, Lebanon is set entirely within the confines of a tank. At the beginning of the Lebanon War in 1982, four young Israeli soldiers find themselves trapped in hostile territory, ultimately unable to find their way out and abandoned by ground troops. Featuring some impressive cinematography and lighting, solid direction (the close-ups are often devastating), an effective music score, realistic performances, and some great sound effects, Lebanon is a harrowing journey into the heart of darkness, a film that feels so real that you can almost smell the smoke, taste the grit and feel the sweat.

See more Leaburn O @RT35452347 06/27/2021 As far as war films go, this isn't up to modern day expectations. It's not as gripping or intense as I would hope and certainly can't hold a candle to Fury which is the obvious comparison. There's also a ridiculous anecdote that sounded like one of Jay's boats from the inbetweeners strangely thrown in. A film of great critical repute but I'm not buying it. One good ten minute scene towards the end aside, it just fails to draw the viewer in.

That is also why I am pretty disappointed from it: I was expecting more. Instead the movie, although with powerful ingredients, never finds an emotional payoff. See more Laurie S @Karlwinters 07/21/2019 Although gripping and seemingly authentic, the lack of discipline and cowardice of the tank's crew indicate that if this is a true portrayal it's no surprise the war lasted so long because of their unprofessional soldiering. I have to admit it was quite a feat having the entire film shot inside the tank, rather like an equivalent of Das Boot. See more Read all reviews
