Based on true events, Sand Castle is a remarkably compelling war film. A group of cavalier U.S. Army soldiers are sent to a small Iraqi village to help repair the water plant and become hardened as they’re attacked by insurgents and start to suffer casualties. Starring Nicholas Hoult, Logan Marshall-Green, and Henry Cavill, the film has a pretty solid cast that deliver strong performances. And it does a good job at showing a variety of soldier’s experiences; from urban warfare, to occupying palaces, to trekking deserts. Additionally, director Fernando Coimbra heightens the tension and suspense especially well. Sand Castle is a powerful film about the struggles soldiers face, both in the field and in themselves.
