An enthralling watch. 2018's 'Unknown Soldier' is excellent. To make a three hour run time go by in a flash is no easy task, but that's exactly what occurred for me whilst watching this - I probably could've taken another hour, it's that good.

An enthralling watch. 2018's 'Unknown Soldier' is excellent. To make a three hour run time go by in a flash is no easy task, but that's exactly what occurred for me whilst watching this - I probably could've taken another hour, it's that good. I was locked in, what helps is the film wastes no time and gets straight into the core of the story - and doesn't let up until the credits. Eero Aho is sensational as Antero Rokka, what a great performance both physically and emotively - such a memorable character. Aho is the standout, though by no means gives the only noteworthy showing. Jussi Vatanen as Ville and Johannes Holopainen as Jorma are superb too. Credit is due for the whole cast, in fairness. Every sequence hits as intended, the effects are convincing and the horrors of war are shown all too well. Pacing-wise, as alluded to at the top of my review, is perfection. The film only follows the Finnish side, as one would expect given it's a Finnish production, but does an admirable job at showing their good and bad elements. These next words will come as no surprise: I'd undoubtedly recommend that you watch this.
