It's spring 1944. The movie follows a squad of American soldiers going through training. They are part of the first wave on D-Day, and they fight onward to the end.
While I don't mind the characters, they aren't anything special. It is the classic one-of-every-kind sort of group. There are a few minor funny moments, but some downright awkward ones too. The action scenes with the actors are limited. They fill the rest out with real footage from different sides of the war and different battle locations. Some are recognizable and classic. Some are new and impressive. That's all I really want from this movie. There are probably ten minutes of real war footage that I like.
