Nice try, but failed
29 July 2011
The whole movie reminded me of a cheap copy of the famous "Band of Brothers" with a total lack of action. Wherever could have been some action, it seemed to have been cut out of the movie. What disturbed me most at the movie was the use of grenades which had the effect of some new-years-fireworks. A little "puff", a little smoke and that's it... Nice try to bring in some background-story of a family waiting at home while the hero goes to war, but why forget about that story at the end of the movie? Although the whole movie plays at night in France, you always get the impression that the camera-lighting shows the way for the soldiers. Some other reviews talk about low-budget-filming? Yes, I totally agree. This could have done better. We all know these "after-movie-comments" about what happened with the heroes after the war. Well, this part is ridiculous at this movie. Only two soldiers mentioned without any historical background. If you like WWII-movies, watch it if you don't have anything better to do, but I swear you'll never watch it again.
