Battle Force Trailers

In the thick of WWII, the 1st Special Service Force unit is called to duty on a secret rescue mission. Challenged by Nazis at every turn, our band of heroes bunker in a bombed out city and race against time to relay a message that is crucial to the Allies invasion of Sicily. Cornered and caught between a rock and a hard place, they only have one option: fire more bullets!

Reviews
Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
akdocfmf The director, writer, producer and those who funded this film did the men of the "First Special Service Force" a dishonor even mentioning them in this film.From the beginning to the end this film was poorly done. The acting was horrible, the military tactics and language was wrong. Everything about this movie appeared as if it was done by someone who played war video games on line, instead of actual experience.My suggestion would be, next time talk to a few real vets and don't use the name of a unit that has such a legacy to try and pawn off your film as historically pertinent.The reason I rented this movie was because it supposedly portrayed a historical moment in military history when in actuality all it portrayed was poor acting, slipshod research and nothing historical at all.You should be ashamed of yourself.
Boba_Fett1138 Well, surprisingly enough I did mostly liked this movie. Of course I recognize it as a cheap and original one but it still does plenty of things well and does offer some decent entertainment.Perhaps I just liked this movie because this is the sort of movie I would had loved to have made with some of my friends. It's a low budget WW II production, that still has a good look to it and has some pretty neat little details in it as well.Thing that definitely is still holding this movie down is its story. It's a very simple one, that besides it's being far from an original one. Another thing about the movie and its story is that about halfway trough the movie feels wrapped up already. There was no need for the movie to go on for as long as it did and some of its moments definitely feel stretched out.You also never really get into any of the movies its characters, so it's definitely not being the most involving movie to watch. I honestly don't remember any of the character's names and really don't know who dies and who survives, at the end of the movie. Seems like they had some pretty good character ideas but none of it gets developed well or properly enough in the actual movie.The action is all filmed well enough, though it certainly is nothing too exciting. Just some firefights, with always the predictable outcome. It still entertains good enough all and makes sure that the movie never becomes a too slow or boring one, though the movie still most definitely has its slower and boring spots.Really, this movie is not half as bad as some people try make you believe it is. Or perhaps it just happens to be so that I have seen far worse genre movie already and therefore am being quite mild toward this one. But just judge and see for yourself. Changes are you might end up liking it good enough and are able to enjoy it for what it is.5/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/
transientdreams To be fair, as someone who absolutely hates most low budget WWII movies, this was surprisingly well done given the limited scope of budget and location. The acting was certainly decent and watchable. The script may have had its clichés, but what script doesn't? The important part is...it was genuine and tries to entertain rather than educate. It's NOT a documentary, which many critics here fail to understand. It's a decently crafted 'Drama' which was well shot, choreographed, and realized. The SS officer was a little over-the-top but again, this movie DOESN'T insult your intelligence by trying to be something it's not. It is NOT an amateur project by any means. It is NOT a 'Great' cinematic masterpiece either. It is simply, a reasonably well thought out period piece that offers some very decent entertainment despite a few shortcomings.It's obvious these people worked very hard to make this project as good a movie as possible. There was no 'slouching' in how they went about shooting and producing this. If you want to look for all its faults rather than enjoy the sincere effort put into it, go ahead. Otherwise, have a glass and just let it roll. It hooked me, and THAT is a very hard thing to do.
shandilla It's better than a blank screen. Otherwise, stupid characters, predictable plot, bad acting, poor effects, generic sound effects, on and on. What happens when you run in front of the guy firing a machine gun behind you? You walk away. What happens when shots are fired at you? You put your hand on your head and wait for the fake sparks to go away. What happens when you see a "Nazi"? You grin and shoot three magazines worth of bullets from one. Really a pathetic attempt with an old story line. Don't pay anything to watch this one that's for sure. Your grade 8 film club could do a more convince job with wooden rifles. It would be a better investment to pay them!
