InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
michiel257 I have without a doubt never ever seen a movie in which acting, filming, sound, screenplay and script are so completely worthless. It seems like re-enactment actors filmed each other with their mobile phones during a weekend away on a paintball range and then voiced it over, leaving the montage to a 10-year old. Explosions and shooting scenes seem to be edited in using windows moviemaker. All aircraft and vehicles are laughable. None of the actors should ever be allowed to star in anything but a STD-awareness commercial. Do you know Adult Swim's Special Agent Decker series? This is seems to be made following the same concept, except it's not even the least bit funny.I will not go into the political discussion about the movie, it's too bad at the surface to look for anything less than a scratch's depth below it.
stevetocco-57724 My subject line says it all. As a student of WWII history, I could not believe a filmmaker would even attempt to convey a story like this (duty, honor, country) about the SS. Had the protagonists been in the German Wehrmacht then MAYBE this plot line might have had some validity and/or credibility. The SS was a completely different, highly political, notoriously vicious outfit. I couldn't believe the claptrap moral equivalence that was spewed in the end narration. It was absolutely devoid of facts and reality. The writers of this film are morally bankrupt.
ian-corner Obvious this film does not have the budget of the Hollywood blockbusters but then that is not what you should watch this film for. It is amaturish but l feel that added somehow to the story. If you cannot take amature movies do not watch it,It is about a soldier in the Waffen SS and his story but with a twist at the end. If you can become the soldier and feel the story, then the movie is a good watch. It does leave you thinking. Hard to say more without a spoiler. Lastly, the voice overs could have been a lot better also but just grin and use your imagination. If you have no imagination and need everything fed to you, then watch Saving Private Ryan or something similar...
musattac More of a 8 or 9 but I rated it a 10 to counter balance the uber PC voters.It seems that a lot of reviewers have a hard time with this movie because it doesn't have a clear cut good vs. bad story. Sorry, if that is what you were looking for, watch Star Wars. Good vs. Bad only truly exists in the fictional world.Most soldiers from the various armies were simply doing their best to survive. All sides committed horrendous atrocities and that is what this movie tries to get across to its audience. If you don't agree, do a google search for the "bombing of Dresden", "Rape of Nanking", "Bombing of Nagasaki", etc.... There are no good guysThat said, I started this movie expecting to waste a couple of hours on another stupid war flick. About 20 minutes into the movie, I was sure I was wasting my time. But slowly the movie drew me in making it clear how the soldiers on the front felt. Depression, hopelessness and loneliness. The director is able to turn your emotions if you give him time.In addition, the uniforms, equipment and historical timeline were are accurate which isn't common in most war movies anymore.Both depressing and worth watching.
