The film does not shy away from depicting the brutal realities of colonial conflict, presenting a balanced view of the tensions between the French forces and the local Arab population. The climactic battle scenes are both thrilling and harrowing, showcasing the director's skill in choreographing large-scale action sequences while maintaining a focus on individual human stories. Ultimately, "March or Die" stands as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit in the face of overwhelming adversity.
