    A docu-drama, it ain't

    This movie doesn't even qualify as a "docu-drama". Hardly any of the "facts" that it presents are correct. It has the time line of certain World War One events completely screwed up.

    In a nutshell, Mr. Cowan may be a fine producer, but as an historian, he sucks rocks.
