Sub-standard battle scenes and ropey characterisation drain this powerful story of its impact. Less history than histrionic.
With the score swelling ludicrously every time the leads so much as scratch their heads, this would-be creation myth falls flat on its face.
Not too bad, though a little plodding.
Unfortunately, Red & White is a conventional, unilluminating work, lacking historical context and individual characterisation, the best scenes being old black-and-white newsreels that accompany the final credits.
