Well to start here weapons are my main area of knowledge here and as one reviewer said in the first scene the soldier hanging upside down from a tree was carrying a German MP40 SMG..well he's quite wrong ..what he picked up of the ground is the cheap as chips American version of the Sten gun called the M3 Grease gun or greaser as it was nicked named.
Quite a different weapon than a MP40 though similar to the MP40 if you don't know what your looking at.
My problems with this movie is the incorrect weapons being used..paratroopers carried the M1 Para Carbine . M1 Thompson SMG and M1 Gerand rifle and machine guns .. M1919 and the like this is just a matter of budget really.
Also if you carefully watch the two Germans on the back of the so-called AA gun truck, their firing bolt action rifles like their semi automatics .
I'm pretty sure quite a few of these weapons are fake..to much muzzle flash and fake muzzle flash aswell...wrong rates of fire ..the grease gun was very slow at only 450 rpm. (rounds per minute)..yet here it's more like 750 rpm
The MP40 also has a far to high rate of fire..its only 550 in the real world. ...fact apart from the Kar98 rifles every weapons rate of fire is wrong.
If accuracy is what your looking for here with weapons..this movie isn't the one to watch .
I do like Kelsey Grammer though..always have ?

Average one to watch this is.
Low budget but not terrible war film.
The plot was pretty flimsy. The acting performances were reasonable considering everyone is an unknown other than Grammar with an almost cameo appearances. The fighting action would have been better if it was more realistic. Also some of the killings were just plain lazy film making. I am not a fan of 20 foot apart open ground machine gun battles. Much of it was not realistic, and some of it was quite cheesy. Nevertheless, it was not a complete waste of time, and it was slightly entertaining. Music was uninspired to say the least. Dialog was not great, but not terrible either. Direction was quite weak. It is entirely forgettable.
poor war B-movie
It's D-day. American soldiers are scattered behind German lines. General Haskel (Kelsey Grammer) has a mission for five disparate soldiers from different companies. They have to rescue a French resistance fighter who would lead them to an important Nazi general in charge of transportation.
This is your basic war B-movie. I don't recognize any of the main actors except for Kelsey Grammer. Most of the budget was probably spent on him. He did some scenes with the main guys and then did a bunch of other scenes with a bunch of nobodies. It probably took him a week, five business days. The action ranges from passable to poorly staged. There are two big battles when around five good guys kill about fifty Nazis. They do throw in a couple of death scenes for the good guys. There is an evil Nazi at the end of road. This is not good.
