User reviews

"The Tank" starts out well but leads to a rather uninspiring outcome. Viewed as an anti war film, with realistic scenes of combat and war crimes, this film is compellingly, horribly, honest. The spirtual component, that the script try's to inject towards the films end, however, falls flat. Its not especially well done, lacking a narrational consistency, that would tie it back, convincingly, into the majority of the story.

In summary, excellent acting, realistic scenes of combat and the mistreatment of civilian populations, that sit's somewhat ackwardly, alongside a tale of death and damnation. A reasonable, if not exceptional watch.
