Back to the napoleon invasions the Portuguese people try to refuge ,along with the Portuguese and english army, on the wellington lines, designe by general wellington to prevent the french army to invade Portugal.
The movie doesn't have one linear story. The story is divided until in some points of the storyline they all come together.
The movie has some moments of tension, the photography is very beautiful despite not being very ambitious but it fits and helps the movie to tell the story.
I think the big mistake of this picture is the division of the storyline. I get it that maybe the writers and directors want to give the perspective that there wasn't only one hero, but multiple hero's.
The second mistake is the lack of danger, the only time that we get to experience fear for the life of the characters the problem is very easily solved.
There's some characters that dont bring nothing to the movie, and the ones who make the difference are badly developed because we I already mention the division of the storyline.
Despite all of that the movie as a overall good story, great performances , great shooting. I just feel sorry for the great build up of some situation so at the end as a pretty easy resolution. This movie is a 7 maybe a 7.5.
