The last thing we needed was another low budget, badly scripted and poorly edited war film with re-enactors who can't act for toffee; but we don't always get what we want.

The plot is that it's 1944 and some American soldiers are lost behind enemy lines. One of them has a whoopsie in the trench and his Captain gets injured. This gives the makers the excuse to have some nurses in the mix too - for l'amour as it were. Then they have to get back to their lines etc etc.

Now the acting is actually OK in places so that is a break with the norm. The vehicles are all real but we have a tendency to use American materiel and drape a Swastika over the front to disguise it and fool us all into thinking it really is German. Why camouflage a vehicle then advertise it with a ruddy big red, white and black flag?

The music is a bit too dramatic - especially as there is very little action. The scenes go on far too long; this needed some vigorous editing to be honest. There is no tension and any that does build up soon evaporates in the lack of anything happening. The guns are OK in places but those with a keen eye will see some of our Nazi bods sporting a rather 'ahead of its time' AK 47. The uniforms are a bit ropey, there are too many plot holes to bother with and the cover art work is pure fantasy.

I tried to find something positive, and apart from some efforts in the acting department - there is nowt - even the plot is so dire and plain bad it is enough to make one cringe; its isn't even so bad that it is funny. If you want to waste your time you could clean your naval button fluff out instead it will be more rewarding.

A good war drama - NOT jampacked action. Don't be mislead by the poster. It follows a young soldier and his comrades as they try to get to safety in the final months of WWII in France. The presence of the army nurses made this different, and the character introspection made it a heartfelt story that I appreciated. I felt for the characters and their struggles. Pretty good WWII story.

I love POW stories, not that this is a POW story per se, but the second half of the story does include that. The mental dynamic of soldiers from opposing sides in the same physical and mental space is always fascinating to me. Nice inclusion of army nurses too, which felt realistic and made this film stand out as something different. Good performances and directing. Starts fast, but slows down a bit in the middle. Strong end. Clearly an indie, but worth it. I know this doesn't count as the actual movie review, but the Behind the Scenes Making Of was interesting and well done. It's on the DVD. I definitely recommend, but don't go into it expecting a Saving Private Ryan big budget blockbuster.
