WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Aubrey Hackett While 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.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Lester May I started to watch this one-hour episode on The History Channel and turned it off after fifteen minutes. It is unwatchable. It is not history in a sensible documentary format.The narrator is hyper and makes it seem like the film is based on some child's Commando strip comic. I almost expected to see voice bubbles with "Achtung!" on screen.Shoot Out is an utterly dreadful format and evidence of The History Channel dumbing down. Other parts in the series, such as Iwo Jima and Okinawa, I have not seen but, if The Big Red One's format is a guide, then they'll be best avoided. Indeed, the subject matter for those parts of the Pacific War has been well served in other programmes on this same channel.

blambert-3 Just purchased the first two seasons on DVD. What an awesome show. If your a Military History buff you will love this program. It combines the "information" of a documentary; the "drama" of a feature film; and the "character study" of a TV series. It shows just how incredibly brave, professional, and heroic these men involved in shootout's can be. It has personal stories and details that pull you in to caring about the subjects, and it has even more impact because the stories are true. While the show clearly demonstrates the amazing abilities of the soldiers involved in the battles,it does not glorify what they are doing. It also does not demonize the enemies they are facing but rather presents them as equally deadly and professional adversaries. This is the best series to come to the History Channel in some time; highly recommended.

Joe Gomez (rsrv4la) Great Production - As a member of the specialty background unit (SWAT4Hire) I was truly proud to be a part of this realistic reenactment series. Greystone Productions was amazing to work with. The directors for each story really went the extra mile to capture the way these events really unfolded. Using real officers to play the part of the key figures in each segment was a nice touch. Mixing in the interviews with the real characters as the story progress really added an extra impact to the overall effect of the real-life drama. The History Channel has set the precedence for future story telling. Great Job!!!

nathendricks I have only seen a few episodes of SHOOTOUT and I don't know if there are very many episodes anyway, but the point is, it's a good show, and the History Channel should have it on more often and have more new episodes.This show is good because it has a mix of real footage, interviews with the veterans, rejectors, and digital layouts to get an idea of the location the soldiers are in.Having rejectors for most of the show helps, because not every event of WWII was filmed, and it helps out greatly to get a better idea of what was going on.I hope the History Channel will start to show this show more often, and have more episodes.
