I would like to start by saying that this type of story should be told, and this type of film should be seen by everyone, even if it has flaws, purely out of respect for its protagonists, who deserve our recognition and memory.
Now, from a critical point of view, as a movie it has nothing especial. The script is kinda bad, it has no remarkable dialogues, and despite the fact that it's telling the story of a hell of a feat, it does so in a way takes a lot of tension away, so the result is bland, which is a shame. The same goes for the emotional front: while it did make me cry, it was the last 15-ish minutes, when it should have been the majority of the movie.
As I said, the story had to be told, and the movie is all in all ok, but it's not something I would watch again.
