As soon as I heard the premise of this film I knew the ending, so I am surprised at how so many - all, in fact - of the reviewers here somehow didn't see it coming.
Essentially, it's a geriatric take on the great Christopher Nolan film Memento with added dementia - 'Demento', if you will - that is very nicely acted but unfortunately I don't think there really was any possible way to make this particular story hang together in a believable manner. Also the politics are too childishly simplistic - annoyingly so - for one to come away with any rewarding sense of depth or meaning, of anything new being added to the same stale old wartime propaganda tropes of the past 70 years, and the pace too slow and unnecessarily drawn out to satisfy.
