I don't mind having a movie split into segments sometimes. It's convenient. If you want to see more war in a war movie that has a long beginning in the civilian world, you can skip ahead in roughly ten-minute intervals until you get to the flame thrower scene. (There's a brief encounter with Herne the Hunter leading into it that's quite touching.) The flame thrower scene stands out more this way, allowing you to break it down for further consumption. The clever positioning; keeping the formidable apparatus nearby but just out of range of the enemy; parked near a corner, where you can pop out, aim it and release the flames before your target has time to turn around and shoot you. And, if you'll notice from the slow motion, with a flame thrower, corrections in aim can be made much more easily, simply by being able to follow its flames with your eye to its burning, screaming destination. And, well, when they found themselves in a barbed wire box over a rat infested lake, they probably thought it was fair, at least for the first little while.
