Steinesongo Too many fans seem to be blown away

Tetrady not as good as all the hype

Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

troybeer Amateur, stilted, uninspired acting, boring dialogue, heavy-handed use of close-ups, bad lighting, inconsistent sound, muted color alternating with too-vivid color, and excruciatingly slow story development are just the first five minutes. The lack of any connection between the overwrought music and the action (actually the total lack of action) on the screen is confusing to the point of being aggravating. The characters are not developed and remain two-dimensional. The language is anachronistic, and the director seems to have instructed everyone in a uniform to be as expressionless as mannequins until it is their turn to look confused. Every shot is an extreme close-up or an extreme oblique angle for no apparent reason. I get that the color, music, camera angles, etc. are used for effect. But when the effect is so obvious, it becomes a distraction. And this film does nothing else but distract the viewer. Unfortunately, nuance and subtlety are the two effects that were not used in this film. Even if none of that bothers you, having a paratrooper jump into enemy occupied territory without a weapon is just plain stupid. If you're making a war movie, you give the actors playing soldiers some guns.

ascrump I have read a lot about what these brave men did. Their story is awesome and should have been told with greater attention to the many things they did. It was a big disappointment. Why was the scene about the English girl and dinner included- everyone knows all D-Day participants were locked up for days before the invasion. Who wrote this???????????? It was impossible to tell who was who, why people were doing certain things - it was a very hard movie to follow even if you know a lot about the subject matter. The nicest thing I can say about it is that is that it conveyed to a degree that sense of lonesomeness soldiers who talked about their D-Day experience described with battles going on all around them.

demodena I knew i was in for something special when a couple of minutes into the movie as they were still adding credits, i saw "Assoicate Producer".... Surely the computer was not so old as to not have a spell check. I"m going to be a sort of devil's advocate here perhaps and say that they did a pretty good job considering the supposed budget and such. Why, perhaps i could say that the acting and such is actually great, as it is as lame and awkward as real life...so, kinda realistic. Kinda... At least they managed to scare up a couple of C-47s and MG-42s. I rented this from Redbox and wish i had read the reviews first..but, since i like to watch MST3K movies sometimes, this fits in that type of genre.I don't know what i can add that has not been stated, accurately, in earlier reviews. Umm...the blue flowers the lady was watering when the plane took off were rather pretty.

galahad58-1 Pathfinders if the absolute worse military film that I have ever seen. It is a crying shame that our military history was portrayed in such a terrible, cheap way.The acting is non-existent. There is not one single decent performance in this film. Everyone is so wooden and stiff and it feels like they are reading off of a teleprompter. There is no emotion in the entire film and there are pauses between actors that make you think that someone is reminding them of their lines.The entire production is awful. There is a severe lack of directing talent that shows in the terrible acting and the terrible shots.This movie was an insult to the US military and the story that it tries to tell.
