First of all, there is the basic premise: that there are two types of soldiers.

One type of soldier is always competent and effective. The other type is not only always bumbling and incompetent, but arrogant, nasty and mean-spirited to boot.

Then there is the glaring incorrect portrayals of military protocol and tactics.

In this film, officers routinely salute non-coms and hold the salute until the non-coms return it, not the other way round which is reality.

It depicts an Army without coordination of infantry, armor and artillery. In one scene, artillery and forward armor are both firing on the same position simultaneously while forward motorized infantry are engaging that target in close quarters battle. Insane.

And then there is the decision to have German characters speaking English with German accents. Reminded me of Inspector Clouseau in the Pink Panther series.

The acting is not terrible but the dialog is amateurish.

It is just an all around bad movie.

Ive seen bad WWII films, but this one takes the cake.

Absolutely AWFUL, so bad in fact that all remaining copies should be binned.

Starting off with dreadful CGI graphics including a non-existant ME-262 over the Channel in mid 1944, to P-51's strafing CGI railroad trains...

The actual WWII vehicles used are nice to see, but the dreadful and corny acting, total lack of military discipline and paper thin plot lines make the vehicles and weapons superflous.

As if it wasn't bad enough, the sub plot was taken straight out of the classic KELLY'S HEROS with the tank platoon commander using several of Oddball's (Donald Sutherland) lines and the mailroom sergeant mimicking Sergeant Crapgame (Don Rickles)

Avoid seeing this film if you want to avoid putting your blood pressure through the roof seeing a WWII story utterly butchered by juvenile and childish writing, comical screenplays and dreadful acting. An absolute dog turd of a WWII film.... AVOID.

I am a s98ker for a good war movie. I even like to watch the lesser war movies, but there is a limit to how much stupidity I can stumach, before I give up and this movie crossed that line pretty quickly...

The bad: it's a war movie and I expect to see exciting fighting scenes. But although these fighting scenes are definitely meant to be taken seriously, they achieve the exact opposite.

It's hilarious to watch these soldiers fight. Really stupid and hilarious. I can forgive a few credibility flaws, but these fighting scenes are so incredibly dumb and silly that even a blind man wouldnt take it seriously.

Not any good? Dolph Lundgren is getting old, and this is NOT a Dolph Lundgren movie, because he is only starring in a small supporting role.
