Foxhole (2021)

Unfolding over the span of 36 hours in three separate wars – The American Civil War, World War I, and Iraq – FOXHOLE follows five soldiers confined in a foxhole as they grapple with morality, futility, and an increasingly volatile combat situation.I like war movies and was really looking forward to this one, but it was so bad I actually gave up on it and shut it off. It was just too painful to continue.Many things can ruin a movie… actors, directors, plot, all kinds of stuff, but it was wardrobe that killed this one.Hard to believe, I know, but when there’s two dozen civil war soldiers dead on the battlefield and more live ones in foxholes, but every single one of them has a brand new unsoiled uniform, including lily-white shirts, after days of battles you just can’t see anything else. It’s kind of like trying to take Conan seriously wielding a sword while he’s wearing Reeboks.This film has a number of 10-star ratings, but it’s so bad, I’m wondering about their authenticity. I gave it a generous 2 stars only because it has the vibe of a play that some people may be into.
