Kinda good, kinda bad. For the most part, though, I did mostly like <em>'Deserter'</em>. It's got a weird sorta vibe to it and feels cheaply made, though with that said the locations are convincing enough. Tom Hardy does well in just his second movie, though does sport a very iffy French accent. Paul Fox is alright in (despite what that presumably retrospective poster suggests) the lead role, he looks a little like Donald O'Connor in this, so there's that. I can fully see why some may dislike this. For me, it's one to narrowly file under 'good'.
