Awesome Movie

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

I think this is a good movie The story is very good but it's a low budget movie, meaning poor images and scenery. The lighting is just awful.But acting is pretty good, so is the story and ideas, if you watch this film just for the plot, it will catch your attention.I would re-make this film with Spielberg directing it, making this a 2-hour movie. And of course, enough budget, according to Spielberg's movies.If you like war movies and don't have anything else to see, watch this, but you are warned: very low budget film.

This 'film' moved like frozen syrup. Poor acting, unnecessary..........pauses for dramatic effect. Dialogue which made no attempt to move the plot forward and enough close ups that I now have to visit my optometrist. I could only bear about forty five or so minutes and that was with the aid of a fast forward button. Could either side have shown any emotion, you know, with them being in life and death situations and all? As for historical accuracy I'm pretty sure I saw a laptop on a desk in the briefing room, it wouldn't have surprised me. This movie made me sorry the allies won the war, perhaps then it would not have been made. My only saving grace is that it was the 'the free one' on the tail end of a rent one get one free new release coupon!

I watched this film because I eat up everything World War 2. This film was definitely amateur hour at it's worst. The saddest part is that most people know little of the Pathfinders and though mostly ineffective the Pathfinders did play a part in Normandy. That being said, the camera was too zoomed, almost always cutting off the heads and showing us the over- dramatic facial expressions from the B - movie actors. The Sound, well, sincerely said it's as bad as a bootleg DVD filmed with a camcorder in a movie theater. Truly horrible production, camera shots, sound, acting, scripting and overall picture quality. The only way I'd recommend this trash would be for use in torturing a prisoner for information. Honestly, THAT bad.

The poor acting, directing and filming are surpassed only by the terrible script. In most wars the strategies are formed by officers who tell soldiers what is to be done. In this film the officers say such things as, "This could be dangerous," and "Do you realize that if the D-Day invasion is canceled you will be left behind German lines?" The director has no sense of timing with the poor script he was given. All reactions are slow. A soldier really gets a plane to drop him so he can have dinner with his girlfriend? Really? Camera work is terrible with most shots being a few inches from the actor's face. The film saved on electricity because it was almost all in the dark. Maybe giving each actor a flashlight would have helped. When this secret mission parachutes into Germany at night, German soldiers at firing rifles into the night sky at ... what? An airplane? Our secret mission? I would give you more examples but I didn't watch more than the first ten minutes. Wish I had read IMDb before I squandered a buck-twenty.
