Watch This Trailer Of Sand Castle

 

Sand Castle, Fernando Coimbra’s intense drama set against the height of the second Gulf War, is one of many, many high-profile war dramas on the verge of release.  For Sand Castle, it’s a little different. Headed up by Nicholas Hoult, Logan Marshall-Green and Henry Cavill, Fernando Coimbra and Netflix’s wartime thriller thrusts our three leading soldiers smack bang in the middle of a flashpoint. Dispatched on a mission to repair a crucial water line blown to smithereens by U.S. bombs, Coimbra’s military men find themselves under attack by a group of extremists.

Told through the lens of the vastly inexperienced Private Matt Ocre (Nicholas Hoult), Sand Castle presents an interesting, boots-on-the-ground account of the narrative surrounding the Iraq War, and the fact that Netflix’s latest original project is based on real events – screenwriter Chris Roessner drew inspiration from his own tour in the Middle East – indicates that the wartime thriller just might have a shot on this year’s awards circuit.

Cavill, Hoult and Marshall-Green will report for duty when Sand Castle bows via Netflix on April 21st. Tommy Flanagan, Glen Powell, Beau Knapp, Neil Brown Jr., and Sam Spruell co-star.
