This is an extraordinary vision of war as an out-of-body experience, predating Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan by some years.
Directed by Paul Greengrass, the film has an extraordinarily surreal feel, especially in the night scenes.
The POV is Chris Ryan's, who is obviously an extreme outsider and a determined survivor.
The cast is excellent, Paul McGann getting right under Ryan's skin.
This film fits into the Lawrence of Arabia tradition being visually sumptuous, thematically expansive and musically (Barrington Pheloung) stirring.
