Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

kliffnotes It is just historically inaccurate. The one GI's girlfriend gives him a camera and tells him to send her a photo, every week. Duh,is it a digital camera or a Polaroid? Of course not so where does he get that film developed...Adolf's One Hour Photo? Also, this chick's hair is very modern looking, definitely not a 40's hairstyle. When the GI with the mo-hawk is with his original unit, he is wearing a plain helmet. Later, it sprouts netting. The one guy's helmet has a paratrooper chin strap and the other guy's does not. In addition, the french resistance girl has zip up boots, not authentic to the period. We make a big deal of D- Day and the war in Europe but keep in mind that 69% of the German Army and 90% of the elite troops were deployed on the Russian Front.OK, enough of the negative. I do feel that the actors tried really hard to do a good job and Lincoln Hoppe had very good intentions, trying to show soldiers on both sides as people, not just stereotypes. As a whole, this is a watchable and entertaining movie. I enjoyed the special features as well as the film.

Euromutt Saint and Soldiers: Airborne Creed takes place in southern France during Operation Dragoon in August 1944. Three members of the 517th Parachute Regimental Combat Team, dropped over a dozen miles from where they're supposed to be, manage to find each other and head off to try to rejoin their unit. Along the way, they encounter Emilie, a female French resistance member who needs their help to rescue some members of her group. Their paths cross, directly and indirectly, that of a German 2nd lieutenant named Neumann.First, I have to commend the makers on the look of the film: the cinematography is aesthetically pleasing, and clothing, weapons and even haircuts are, as far as I can tell, mostly accurate for the period. The Germans look a bit ragtag (e.g. wearing a mix of boots), but that's credible given that the German units occupying southern France were "minor league," scraped together from reservists and the like. The scenery and vegetation were (to my eye) a bit too western United States rather than southern France, but the makers clearly did their best to pick locations that weren't too obviously out of place (and they certainly did a better job than the producers of To Hell And Back).The main problem with this film is that it lacks focus: the various stories being told are too insubstantial and insufficiently cohesive to hold the film together, and we're left wondering what the film was really about. Apart from an occasional burst of sadness, none of the characters display much in the way of emotion, probably because the script doesn't give them anything to be emotional about. The two characters with a modicum of back story are written out of the script two-thirds of the way through, though that's in a way fortunate, since they are also the most annoying (not least because they have recurring flashbacks to tell us something that was abundantly clear from their respective first ones and didn't need rehashing).Moreover, the script is just too sanitized. Nobody swears, hardly anybody smokes (only two rapidly dispatched Germans), and the Neumann character seems to be meant to come off as sympathetic even though at the start of the film, he oversees the execution of Emilie's father and brother. If I had to sum this film up in one word, it would be "anodyne": an hour and half of pretty but eminently forgettable World War II wallpaper.

almeidapm Plot: World War II, and 3 airborne soldiers get trapped behind enemy lines after a night drop.This is a prequel to the movie Saints & Soldiers, but it has no real connection with the characters from the 1st movie. The only things in common is that both are set in WWII and that the movie is more about relationships between enemies than war itself.This movie was not as good as the 1st one, but still a very entertaining movie. There are no bad people in war only people doing their jobs. The movie really shows how in German side there were good people, as there were in the American side, and in the end nobody really wanted to be there. They just wanted to go home to their families.

pd2905 Saints and Soldiers surprised me by the one dimensional shabby characters involved in it and the Hollywood shabby portrayal of German soldiers as monsters. Some good shooting and movie techniques give it nice technical quality. Clearly the concept of war is unclear to the writer even more than it is to me. If you wish to waste your time on an hour long political propaganda well this is your movie. Even a kid could see that these people never existed and never will exist- recommendation if you feel like watching something which does not involve too much thinking there is the move "6 bullets" with Van Damme. Personally the first ten minutes of this movie felt like an insult to my intelligence after that it gets funny. To the creator of this movie and to all the other Hollywood filmmakers: please stop wasting resources trying to change history and the awareness of young people. And by the way, if Germany had not attacked Russia all of Europe would have spoken German probably.
