don't watch this if you know anything about WWII, military tactics, firearms, rank, insignias, know which way a swastika hangs, know there is a difference between the 101'st airborne and the 82nd airborne and members of the 82nd don't wear 101st patches or if it would bother you if you saw a new clean living room set in a bombed out WWII village. or , when concrete railroad ties started to be used on railroads. do watch this is you like cleavage and, in all fairness, there are two great hand to hand/knife fights in it. near the end of the movie our hero has to fight two bad guys, the spy and the guy protecting the spy. oh, and if you know your Vietnam war area military vehicles, close your eyes during the garrison scene.

One of the baddest movies I have ever seen. How Tom Sizemore cold sign up for garbage like this after doing so well in SAVING PRIVATE RYAN is beyond me. The plot is unreal, the action clearly fake, the special effects juvenile and the characters caricatures. The train yard scene would be hilarious if it wasn't so repellent. The director should be prohibited from making another movie EVER. The bad guy with the gimp leg is one of the most ludicrous characters to ever disgrace the movie industry, and the calling out of targets on the road while driving is pathetic. British boor - ism is evident and disgusting. The script writer should be shot for writing this load of horse dung.

It was like I was watching Hogan's Hero's. The difference was that Hogan's hero's was supposed to be funny, this movie was trying to be serious. The comic relief had a horrible southern accent. The terrain looked more like southern California instead of Italy. I just love how each person had about 5000 rounds of ammunition for each battle scene. In the movie there is a Nazi who stands still with a hand gun and 5 people are shooting at him with machine guns and never gets shot. Horrible movie. The only reason I kept watching was so that I could make fun of it and write a review. The "good guys" run across a stream with machine guns blazing and not one of them get hit. I think a 10 year old wrote the script.

To be fair, as someone who absolutely hates most low budget WWII movies, this was surprisingly well done given the limited scope of budget and location. The acting was certainly decent and watchable. The script may have had its clichés, but what script doesn't? The important part is...it was genuine and tries to entertain rather than educate. It's NOT a documentary, which many critics here fail to understand. It's a decently crafted 'Drama' which was well shot, choreographed, and realized. The SS officer was a little over-the-top but again, this movie DOESN'T insult your intelligence by trying to be something it's not. It is NOT an amateur project by any means. It is NOT a 'Great' cinematic masterpiece either. It is simply, a reasonably well thought out period piece that offers some very decent entertainment despite a few shortcomings.It's obvious these people worked very hard to make this project as good a movie as possible. There was no 'slouching' in how they went about shooting and producing this. If you want to look for all its faults rather than enjoy the sincere effort put into it, go ahead. Otherwise, have a glass and just let it roll. It hooked me, and THAT is a very hard thing to do.
