Hi all

I have seen many comments criticizing the English dubbing but having seen the film in French VO I will not allow myself to judge as rajotd.

This film is a loyal historical testimony concerning the brave soldiers (american and french) who fought in the pocket of Colmar and the links between them.

Very well shot and with complete historical realism we note however the small budget allocated to the effects, more real than special ;-)

However, where the film draws all its excellence, it is in the singular story that it tells and in the links between close characters that it brilliantly highlights.

Throughout each scene, the director's passion is felt and during the course of the film we understand how the script has been worked to achieve this result.

Therefore it is a touching, realistic and ultimately both simple and complex film for the story it tells!

The only review above 6 are obvious fakes (the guys created an account just to boost the ratings artificially). Everything is phoney about this movie.

I'm French, so the dubbing was not an issue. This French is atrociously bad, a mix of 2020 yoofspeak and stilted literary French. Besides, the actors are terrible. These amateurs spouting these uninspired, verbose and phoney lines are a painful sight to behold.

Obviously the director has no idea about small arms tactics. The action scenes are an insult to actual people who fought in this war. Everything is wrong in so many ways.

3 guys running 100 yards straight in front of an MG42, shooting the hapless and apparently blind bad guys, then running back another 100 yards ? I don't think so.

A whole platoon digging in in useless shallow foxholes, with nothing but rifles and SMGs? No mortars, no MGs, not even a sniper rifle? I don't think so.

Germans positioning their 8 cm mortars close enough to get picked off by regular M1 rifles? Sent into a rout by a gung-ho Frenchy standing in the middle of the woods, throwing a single grenade and popping a few rounds in their general direction? I don't think so.

Frankly I wonder where the guy found enough money to produce this pile of garbage.

At the beinning: mortar keeps hitting the same spot? After a few spotting rounds the mortar should have hit the convoy. Oh well French movie, where the Germans are idiots.

Alsace didn't really feel French. It was stolen from the Germans after ww1.
