TeenzTen An action-packed slog

Organnall Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

nsamarman Another reviewer said he was hesitant mentioning this movie with "Saving Private Ryan". I will not hesitate in the least. This is the kind of movie that war movie buffs live for. A story with characters we care for. A story with characters we can love. It is a story that typifies many untold WWII stories: about one group of people at their worst, and another group at their best. That is how great stories are written, and this IS a great one. Enjoy this movie, and wipe the tears from your eyes at the end.I was delighted to discover that the first person appearing in the film was the actor who played Foyle's son in the great British television series "Foyle's War". But I was very surprised to see him in the role of a Yank leading a small band of Brit specialty soldiers. I liked him in FW, and I loved him in this movie, as much as I ever have loved a character who displays real character.This movie is definitely a sleeper, which happens to rhyme with keeper.

Eliteskeet While this movie has some notable historical inaccuracies and "dumb enemy syndrome," it is an exciting and action-packed movie that most fans of war films will enjoy.I thought the action sequences and special effects were excellent for a lower budget film, although the music/environmental sounds are often heavy and make the combat dialog hard to hear. The plot is solid enough to be interesting and the film is packed with explosions and gunfire.This film is nowhere near the same tier as Saving Private Ryan or Downfall, but it kept me very entertained and left me surprised at how much I enjoyed it.

leewilkerson77 I couldn't hear speech because the background music and gunfire was so loud.This would be okay if the writer thought none of the speech was relevant to the movie, but I really don't think this is the case.This is also not the first British-made movie in which I have experienced such a fiasco of sound level management. I personally am not ready to subject my sound system to such crass disregard.If this is the way some people think their movies should sound, I'm checking out someone else's product and these producers will miss my votes.

Tim Little This is my first review, and I was inspired to submit it, in part, by how appalling this film is....and by other reviews giving it a favourable notice and possibly luring people into wasting a couple of hours of their lives watching what is, essentially no more than an animated teenagers comic.... such as the Commando magazines I used to colour in back in the day. The acting and direction are laugh-out- loud bad and the plot, such as it is, ludicrous. It contains all the clichés (All American hero stages a remarkable recovery from near fatal infection, comedy German accents and heroic French peasant popping up the stairs to save the day, trite dedication at the end credits) and corny dialogue. The budget battle scenes look like they were staged by the local historical re-enactment society clumped on the village green on a Sunday afternoon. This film has no redeeming features and I'd be surprised if we see any of the actors portraying the British officers at headquarters ever again. So perhaps, after all, Allies has served a purpose. Honestly, life is short. There are hundreds of better things to do with your time.
