As the deeply scarred Wood, Boyle carries the emotional weight of the character without ever becoming a mere cipher for the horrors of war.

Independent
In less subtle hands, this kind of real-life courtroom battle could easily descend into a dry procession of facts. That it doesn't is credit to [Robert] Jones's writing... as well as strong lead performances.

The Times
It was a thoughtful, non-melodramatic meditation on what we expect of soldiers in the heat of battle and on the tightrope of maintaining decency in war.
