General Dwight Eisenhower was 54 years old in 1944, yet the Captain in this is 59. Sure, he doesn't look it but come on, you couldn't find an age-appropriate actor to play the captain?As others have pointed out, the scenery is wrong, the uniforms are wrong, the armor is wrong.

It is sad it really seems they had what they needed to make it good, but waaay to much talk and waaaay to predictable we have seen and heard every scene before. A shame the cast was pretty good and I will agree with Weller the German Officer played by Tino Struckmann did a great job, I saw him in other war films before. It would have been a better movie if they had made him the lead villain, at least he can carry a movie. The guy they god couldn't sell water in Africa. It was OK made but definitely left me wanting a lot more. The film feels like it was written by somebody who just patched scenes from other war film together, with no understanding of what war fans want to see. And what the hell with the 5 min opening montage I nearly walked away on that alone?!

Now and again you get a film which is so bad it is laughable, this one was so bad I was not even laughing. This obviously never made the cinema or there would have been riots at the box office with punters demanding refunds. This was free on Sky and I still feel robbed, this was a really listless film, the actors looked utterly bored with the absurd script, a few spoilers, all films you must suspend logic but when a film goes over the line it becomes nonsense this supplies in buckets. When your returning to the American line like your on a tour of local vineyards you don't have the sense to take off the huge swastika? the Germans have enough time to set up what looks like a holiday camp and then the boxing match, give me strength. Then the "kid" when he strangles the fattest soldier to ever exist. Feel sorry for the actors as I suppose a job is a job. Boring, no pace the two girls must have been to the zombie school of acting with their total lack of emotion. Avoid, avoid, avoid.

The Last Rescue try's very hard to make a worthwhile B grade WWII drama/action flick and partly succeeds. The storytelling is reasonable, if predictable, and the acting is actually quite good. Where this film falls down badly is the choice of locations. Its very obviously not Europe. Worse still its not careful in its use of what is available. Houses used in the film are clearly not European, they look American. I was not surprised to find this film was shot in the USA. Perhaps this sounds petty but misuse of locations can really ruin the sense of atmosphere that was initially well established in the opening scenes of this drama. The Last Rescue is a reasonable effort that could have been better again with a more considered choice of locations and buildings. Six out of ten from me.
