Disturbing yet enthralling

Charming and brutal

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Other reviewers do have some valid points on the movie - the acting is not the greatest and at times you can see the low-budget effects but this has been GREATLY overstated.The script is good and, most of the time, the direction is passable albeit that sometimes the acting is wooden (and I did say "sometimes"). A great plus for me is that there is a serious attempt, thanks to the large number of re-enactors involved, to use accurate uniforms, weapons and equipment (btw the bright red lipstick shown was very fashionable in the 1940s) and there is some real feel of combat in a way that there is not with a great many other war movies ('The Longest day' and 'Saving Private Ryan' being particular exceptions).'The Rose of Normandy' will never be a classic and could have been better edited to reduce the times when you can see the low budget effects (we didn't need to see the totally empty sea behind the landing craft...) but the "Worst WWII Movie Ever" ? NOT by a very very long way.Have the other reviewers not seen 'The Battle of the Bulge', 'To Hell and Back', 'The Heroes of Telemark', 'The Big Red One', 'Operation Crossbow', and all of those other movies where the Producer/Director has not even tried to reflect 1940s uniforms, equipment and fashion because they really couldn't be bothered and may well have had a simple contempt for their audiences ? No, as I said, "Normandy" is not a great movie but is well worth the hour and a half indulgence

I strongly suggest that no one ever watches this movie. I bought it for five bucks at a red box and realized it was the worst five bucks I have ever spent in my life. Everything was ridiculously fake looking as well as just plain. I knew it was some type of private company film when the men would get shot and just fall, no blood, nothing. I'm not a mean person, but whoever helped make this movie should really consider a new job approach. I am 19 and a big fan of World War 2 films and I have no problems saying this is one of the worst I've ever seen. After fifteen minutes of watching this movie, I realized I couldn't take it anymore, I had to stop it, I almost threw it away/broke it in half, but my Dad said to keep it. Let's put it this way, I would rather break the movie disc in half and let out anger than watch another ten minutes of this movie.

I have unfortunately squandered 1h40 of my life which I shall never get back. This is by far the worst film I have ever seen.The general plot was made worse by the historical inaccuracies that, despite being a low budget film, should have been addressed. Even in the first few minutes on the Eastern Front seeing an immaculately clean grey Tiger tank next to a APC in the mid 1944 dark yellow cameo scheme made me cough up my drink. Such basic detail. The accents were pathetic and in line with those of Enemy at the Gates when Bob Hoskins introduces himself as Khrushchev in the most Cockney accent possible. And two landing craft on D-Day? If you've got a cheap budget, don't be over-ambitious like in this film where we can't help but be drawn to the constant mistakes plus the poor acting.What a useless film!!!

where on earth did they get all that hardware, tanks planes and weapons?? and no fake digital stuff, I love a good old fashion war film, and the girl was hot too, good story line and despite its a low budget film they did a great job any war or action buff must see i read some of the reviews and it seems very personal for some people, it seems unfair, a lot of people do not give these guys proper credit, it is an awesome film and especially seen in the light of the low budget, and when one look at all the hardware they put in the film it is quite good its OK shot but some shots are amazing and no film have that much real hardware in any film, million dollar films just make it up with digital stuff these guys actually going the real stuff, well done
