The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

A film on world war II, made in the 21th century, where German soldiers still speaks fluently cockney British, just does not grab me. Atop of that a corny music score makes this a perfect rot. How anyone can really like this masterpiece of boredom - in our days - puzzles me.How on earth could this film find the producers to financially back it up? No serious director with an ambition can do a world war movie where Germans troops speaks English! I am surprised to see so many viewers here giving The Bunker quite fine marks and approving words. The story itself could have been handled with some finesse and possibly resulted in a film worth seeing had the director been, for instance, Steven Spielberg. But I doubt even he could have taken this script that far.

I read the cover of this movie and thought that it would be a zombie movie, WWII style, a la Day of the Dead. However... this movie swirled around the deep recesses of the darkness in which it was filmed, only to arrive at virtually nothing.Throughout the movie, the writers attempt some kind of commentary on the evils of Nazi Germany, but seems to focus on very strange, peripheral evils, rather than on some of the big ones.Aside from all this, there apparently isn't any kind of creature(s) roaming the depths of the bunker, and all the men that die are at each other's hands, thanks to some kind of hallucinogenic gas in the tunnels.The ending has the feeling of some kind of "trial by fire", the only problem being that we were never really clearly given the emotional struggle of the character(s).The best part of the movie was the fact that this small platoon of Germans was played by British actors, who didn't even attempt to hide their accents.Perhaps not a complete was of my life, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Extremely boring war movie that tries to establishes a link with terror/horror theme but fails miserably in all the points. So, the movie is a completely failures as a war movie and as a terror/horror flick. The 'Bunker' has a simple plot, in fact. A group of German soldiers enter a bunker to escape an attack of Allied soldiers. In the bunker, they find an old private and a young soldier. There's an atmosphere of mystery all around. The old man is a bit out of mind and very frightened and the young soldier is mesmerized by the tales and weird stories always repeated by the old man about strange facts concerning the bunker. But you'll never know what is the real problem. But you'll have many options: ghosts? zombies? witches? Although all the cards put on the table, the game never ended because here's no satisfactory and reasonable answer at the end. The cast is correct with Jason Flemyng - here the most recognizable actor in the bunch - and Eddie Marsan who did a good job as the old private.

During WWII, a small group of German soldiers retreating from advancing Allied forces seek refuge in a tank bunker that's only manned by loony old man and a young kid who are low on ammunition. The Americans surround the bunker and the men inside wait for the onslaught. Soon they learn of an underground labyrinthine of tunnels, which could used to escape, but there's something not right about it. The old man tells stories that these tunnels are haunted, but the men believe that the Americans have found there way in.Disappointing… yeah this sneeringly bleak psychological hybrid that cross war with the supernatural ("The Keep" did it better) is for most part a real blurry and flatly handled project. The murky idea behind it isn't bad and there's a potent slickness to the film, but it's hard to shake that sense that it could have been far more to it and that it doesn't really lift itself for the occasion. It just sits there for too long and when it tries to hit its stride. It never takes off and ends in pretty much a fizzle. After making us wait, there are too little surprises and thrills conjured up. Two or three nightmarish images are just not enough. Rob Green (debut as director) elaborately paces the film slowly to milk the taut situation and he crafts a drably paranoid atmosphere that reeks of shadowy menace. It's too bad he had to fall into some predictable jump scares and uninspired clichés of haunted themes. Russell Currie pips in with an eerily shuddery music score and John Pardue's polished photography captures the saturated fixtures with precise detail. The editing by Richard Milward has that uncanny firework movement about it and surprisingly some of those dreary flashbacks are chillingly displayed.Subtleness is the key, but maybe it was just too implied and clever for its own good with its preachy mannerisms. Especially since I found the delusional characters hard to tell apart and to feel for them. No real connection is really made towards them. And the whole ambiguous touch of this unseen foe never fills that fulfilling when the answers come. For me it didn't entirely click and made it even more baffling and frustrating. More so it looks at the horrors of war and the haunting nature that it has on the serving soldiers. The script that's served up is severely lacking any sort of conviction and filled with flimsy dialogues. The cast on hand are more than capable; Jason Flemying, Andrew Tiernan, Christopher Fairbank and Jack Davenport. Instead what they have to work off is rather weakly drawn up.I'm rather unsure about this low-budget effort. It's looks very good, but the story's shifty progression confounds the overall outcome.
