5/10

"Walter Tull's military career is obviously a documented fact (his military record), but the rest is pure conjecture, especially the romance, so all the race and WWI cliche's are trotted out in force. Only 60 minutes in length, but it may have benefitted from being longer and adding his early career as a footballer. This would have been more interesting than racial prejudice-rising above it-cannon fodder-killed in action storyline that has been done so many times before...."
