Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
View MoreIt's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
View MoreThe movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
View MoreWhile it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
View MoreWhen I watched this movie, it reminded me a lot about the videogame series "Commandos". I think the director must have played these games himself :)Yes, it's not a very realistic movie, but the acting and special effects are ok, the action is fun to watch, the story was interesting enough for me to watch the whole movie, etc.The movie also reminded me of older war movies like: Where Eagles Dare, The Guns Of Navarone, The Dirty Dozen, etc.
View MoreIt was OK, unfortunately it seemed the allies had unlimited ammo. The StG 44 German Automatic weapon only has a 20 round magazine. It was pretty funny that it seemed like it was unlimited.Tom Sizemore had a rank of master sergeant but was wearing an officers uniform with officer insignia with the Master sergeant rank on the sleeve. you would think they would have done more research. The Germans looked like they had proper rank and uniforms.The movie was entertaining, I really like the fact that so many Germans were killed.I thought the acting was OK, nothing spectacular. I liked the movie.
View MoreFor a fictional not big budget WW2 war movie it is good for what it is. An American / British team go behind enemy lines in Prussia and team up with a Russian team and a good Fraulien to stop the 4th Reich from being formed.The cast isn't very famous except Tom Sizemore and an elderly looking Rutger Hauer. Liked the actress Julie Englebrecht - she's pretty and convincing in her role as a good German.There is a feel good video game logic to the story but it's actually quite good. Of course there is some unrealistic aspects like the respective kill ratios. But who cares, it's quite enjoyable and the fictional elements are inspired by a factual framework.The message of this movie is the U.S. and Russia fighting on the same side against a common enemy is a good idea.
View MoreOmg!*spoiler alert (almost)* I watched a little bit more than 20 min of this movie. That was not a completely waste of my time, because i gave it 2 stars. (i like 2ww theme) The message is totally clear in this film. Germans are/was idiots. I don't care to explain because i don't want spend more time talking about this stupid movie. I just want to warn everyone else and no more. This is a spoiler. The heroes flies a ("historical"?) glider .... witch has a motor ... and ... explodes.See: if you like 2 world war action movies when people shoot Germans and you don't care much about history. Don't see: if you respect anything.
