SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

Fulke Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

thomas-379 I thought this film was very good. What I particularly liked was that this is almost the very first film I have seen where the weapons for each side were accurate. Not M-60 tanks dressed up as Panzers etc. They even had one German soldier with a StG44. Half tracks were correct on the respective sides too. My only minor gripe was that although the guy who played the British Pilot put in a great performance, why didn't they use a real Englishman? The acting was excellent. I saw it for the first time on Neflix. If you are a WW2 buff you will like this film. I'm surprised I never heard of it....maybe I'm not as up on films as I thought!

nidaros This movie sucks in all respects: It has a dull, boring and predictable story. Its low budget becomes apparent throughout the movie and does not allow to make up the deficits of the story by means of good action.One of it's anchors is hypocritical, religious nonsense.The characters are either stereotypic or totally unrealistic in order to serve the religiously influenced storyline.It is full of errors - related to the movie itself as well as the "real events" it is supposed to be based on.Anyone, who speaks decent German, will hardly be able to stand the horrible language skills of the German figures without bursting into laughter, which isn't quite a desirable mood for a wannabe serious and emotionally moving movie.

dude5568 Saints & Soldiers tells the story of few soldiers behind enemy lines trying to make it through by supporting & understanding each other,the age old message being delivered with it..team work is always above your own comforts when lives are at stake.The film is merely 80minutes long but is so well made that at the end you feel satisfied & more or less emphatic.It depicts that during a time of crises even small things have big values which we don't understand unless we need them.In every war there are proficient soldiers on both side who obviously treat each other with disdain & hatred but exceptions are always there,the film is sort of a short story covering all the above aspects at some levels,its a brilliant movie and from my side i give it perfect score as far as entertainment goes.Good story,great performance,good subject matter...pretty much sums it all up,i am sure that you r gonna have a great time enjoying this one....

secondtake Saints and Soldiers (2003)A World War II movie made in the 21st Century has to have something new to say, and this one attempts to do that with gritty, intimate realism. It succeeds in that, to some extent, but it also has some familiar clichés in the dialog and the general plot details which cover familiar ground.The scenario starts with some fast cutting that creates a sense of danger and drama with some sacrifice of logic. We just know things go badly for the Americans. Then it follows some stragglers who have survived, and things grow gradually more coherent. As the men come to know, and not completely like, each other, they form bonds that get tested, and there is heartbreak and hardship enough for anyone.What holds all of this up is a modern sense of full color, in your face hell. Not the hell of bloody conflict (there is a little of that here and there) but of fighting the snow and the cold and the fear of not making it, of dying. Some of the clichés really are a drag, however, such as a little cabin in the middle of nowhere where a bombshell of a French beauty is making bread by hand, a 78 record playing in the background, and she welcomes them (after a brief knife-wielding hesitation) with a kiss on each cheek. It's super sweet, but it's exactly what turns this movie into a fantasy now and then. Great intentions overrun with wishful daydreams.
