Saints and Soldiers

pretty standard drama/war. the acting was fairly well done and the writing was good. if you need a war movie fix and can't rewatch saving private ryan or band of brothers than this'll do i guess.

Not your typical war movie. It's almost 100% character moments and you truly begin to care about the characters.

Decent WWII fare.

Saga on the battlefront of WWII can’t escape an over-familiarity (especially in the gushy soundtrack that makes you appreciate there truly is only one John Williams), but there is something to be said for Little’s largely unadorned handling of this material – it’s not the most violent version, or most “true to life” or historically significant, but its straightforward, down-the-line approach makes it modestly involving, and even modestly moving by the finale.

Not sure, what was Ryan Little's point to make this movie. As R.L. was director, producer and cinematographer, he pulled most of the strings. If he was passionate to reconstruct a WWII event, then he should stick more with the real events and at least film it in Belgium and not in Utah.

This movie falls in the same categorie as 'When trumpets fade', unfortunately it's not as good. Some actors are out of place and the story suffers from some plot-holes. But if you like the genre, I'll guess you still appreciate this drama.

There are movies of war much better this what. This is the problem.
