I watched it. It has a lot of traditional war movie cliches, like you know that as soon as the private talks about his fiancée back home, he's a goner. But the action is well-done. There's a fair amount of insubordinate behavior that wouldn't be tolerated in a lot of armies, but that may be more an Australian thing than a movie thing.
There's some stuff you might think is unrealistic, like the fact that no one wears a helmet, but again, that's just Australian.
It's an Australian/New Zealand co-production. The New Zealand artillery plays a big role, as they did in the actual battle. The fact that there was also a battery of US 155s in support of the Australian and New Zealand 105s doesn't show up in the film, but the USAF does make an appearance.
