Movie review - "A Field in England" (2013) **

During the English civil war a man goes looking for an Irishman and they hook up with some others and look for treasure. I think. This was a very confusing. There are some effective battle sequences at the beginning, some trippy visuals (the characters eat magic mushrooms), intriguing use of sound, solid acting. There is a funny death bed confession.

But it was hard to get a grip on what was going on and to be involved in the characters. I began to long for some violent scenes to wake up. It didn't need to be that confusing did it? It's a bunch of guys looking for treasure - you can create something easy to follow about that, can't you?
