The Sandpit Generals Audience Reviews

Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Mabel Munoz Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
