2.0 out of 5 stars Valiant freshman attempt, painful in every way., May 25, 2009

By	Steve Kuehl "SLV Video" (Ben Lomond, CA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

A story of Russian and German soldiers fighting on the Polish front, Spring 1945.

Let's get the laundry list out of the way. Average to horrible acting, a few pointless story lines, shaky cam style that ruins every battle scene, a music score that wrecks every other scene, multitudes of unfocused shots, a 5.1 sound that is mixed almost entirely wrong, rudimentary CGI, really fake hand to hand, artillery and high caliber rifles that had no recoil, and so on.

Now the good. Got to see some nice footage of nearby California (subbed for Poland), got to see my favorite mutant biker from Weird Science play a Russian, and that covers it. It had some emotional moments to it, and I give them props for showing multi-national cooperation in times of escaping Russian bad guys (German, Brit and whatever the gal was trying to be).

Special features: A multi-page screen text about the Freemasons. Putting aside the bad grammar and poor spelling, it contained some sad facts about their organization during the war. Also included is a nine-minute making-of showing the production team and extras doing their thing. Has some informative material on the props and rehearsals.

I give this two stars for the film and extras. I also noticed the few high rating reviews out there are from cast members, which I understand.

1.0 out of 5 stars Retired Army Guy, July 25, 2009

By	Jeffrey A. Hennes - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The DVD cover for this movie, the one for my movie rental is different that the one shown here, is awesome and the whole reason I chose this movie. The DVD cover is the best thing about this movie. It's terrible in everyway. I love the accents, French, British, American and that's just the over actors playing the Germans. It's cliche, the writing is bad, the actors are bad. The plot is silly. Just don't bother.

2.0 out of 5 stars I Don't What to Hear it Bro, July 17, 2009

By	LV (FRANKLIN, MA USA) - See all my reviews

I decided to take a chance on this one only because I've never seen a movie about the biggest conflict ever, the WWII eastern front. But I should have known better, this film is barely watchable, but I admit I watched the whole thing. It's often dull, cheesy, or awkward. I would call it a sci-fi channel movie level of quality. It's hard for me to understand how anyone but the director's mother could praise this film.
