It's very hard for any film to follow in the wake of Gallipoli and Breaker Morant, both of which I consider the best Australian war films ever made.
Beneath Hill 60 is a nice effort. The story is laid out for us all, the characters are likable and there are a couple of good tense moments I found challenging.
Probably would have been a better mini-series so we could get to know the characters a little better and the writers may have been able to expand on them some more.
Good on the producers and all concerned for their effort..... now where's my Breaker Morant DVD????
