So, 'Above and Beyond: The Craftsman' gives you this gritty peek into the lives of engineers during WWII, which is really a fresh angle. Set in 1944 Normandy, the pacing feels deliberate, letting the tension build as young Sgt. Wally Harris and his crew navigate the chaos of war, even though they’re not soldiers in the traditional sense. The performances have this raw authenticity, highlighting their fears and struggles. You really sense the weight of responsibility on these craftsmen as they aid the Allied forces. The practical effects, while not flashy, do a good job of grounding the film in its historical context. It’s that juxtaposition of engineering and combat that makes it stand out - you’re watching them face their own demons amidst the battlefield.
