Title: Sappy War Story With Little Action
Review: The "Deserter" is a movie you should desert before you start. It's the story of a young Englishman named Murray who decides to join the Fr. Foreign Legion for fun and adventure like Erol Flynn. It turns out it's not a whole lot of fun. The story takes place in 1960. Murray is sent with his comrades to Algeria to suppress an Arab uprising. Don't look for any major battles--very little action. Murray ends up being conflicted--of course, the crisis of conscience plot. Spoiler alert--he kills his Foreign Legion buddy to protect Arabs who were taken hostage. Save your time, desert now and don't bother with the Deserter.
