'Saints and Soldiers' is not your average war movie. Don't expect loads of action and warfare here. The film is a dramatic account of five men trying against all odds to get back to their people.
This is a very well made and realistic movie. In the beginning, the film gives us a taste of what's to come, and then go back in time a bit. The small cast is effective, as we really get to know the characters. There's great character development as well. The film really surprised me towards the end by becoming emotionally charged with excellent performances. The character bonding was fantastic, and - off course - by that time we really cared about the characters. It was an effective set-up for a nail-biting, emotional finale.
'Saints and Soldiers' might not be as action-packed as you'd expect from a war movie, but it excelled on other levels. This turned out to be an incredible movie.
