hyped garbage
The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.
After reading all the reviews, I felt as if I should give this film justice. Despite all the negative comments about the sound effects and how historically inaccurate it is, the film is incredible. I absolutely loved it, the story line is totally memorizing and I was entirely engrossed in it. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who likes a good action war film. certainly one of the best ones on Netflix!
It's like a train wreck. You don't want to watch but, you can't take your eyes off of it. Right off the bat a US 2nd Infantry Division soldier is armed with a German G43 rifle with a US M82 scope mounted on it. Gimme' a break. Then, all of the other soldiers that weren't armed with M1 Thompson sub-machine guns were all, yes all, carrying No4 British bolt action rifles. Was there no consulting or, was there just no attempt at authenticity. Heck, even an internet search nowadays could have given them the information without paying a consultant. I believe it was more of a money thing. It was probably cheaper to rent the wrong weapons over the correct ones. At least the Germans were using German "Schmeisser" Machine Pistols and Mauser 98k rifles. Anyway, as a veteran and WWII history buff, I can tell you this movie is "Sad" at best. Cheap and Cheesy. Enjoy.
This has got to be the worst WWII film ever. The Germans never started building an atomic bomb during the war. It was never contemplated. It was never started. Besides that, it was just corny. Someone mentioned it was funny. It wasn't funny. It wasn't meant to be funny. 'Top Secret' was a funny WWII film. It was written that way. This was just bad script writing done by someone who knew nothing about WWII except, maybe there was a Battle of the Bulge in 1944. I couldn't even finish watching this. I didn't care how it ended. I just wish an atomic bomb had blown up the writer and everyone who had anything to do with this movie.
I was hoping to see a good war movie this weekend. Boy was I sorely disappointed! Using the wrong weapons, Using Russian Heavy tanks and calling them German Tiger tanks, To the Germans developing the Atomic Bomb, which we all know, they were not even close to developing it. In the Special features, the Director mentions that he built the 88mm antiaircraft out of wood and PVC pipe. I can tell you that it looks it! The Director should be ashamed of this movie, as should anyone who had any thing to do with it. Having a small budget is no excuse for producing trash. So many other quality movies have been made with smaller budgets this is just a waste of resources and good actors. Do not let the names of the Actors fool you. Bad directing will elicit poor performances from even the best actors. This movie should be passed by.
