For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Poor movie, none of the surrounds look like France, only of England. Also very poor acting. What is appalling is at the end it mentions Johnny Barrows received a Victoria Cross for his bravery. This is an insult for the real hero's that earn't the VC during wartime. The producers should face legal action for this insult!!

I bought this DVD in Asda for £5 under the renamed title D day survivors with a different cover photo so don't be fooled into thinking it is a different film. It is a low budget film and that shows as everything about the film is wrong. The landscape is nothing like Normandy or any part of Northern France. The uniforms are wrong the guns are wrong and a scene near the end where they attack a pill box which looks 70 years old is just unbelievable. In fact there isn't any scene in this film that is believable walking through fields in broad daylight and why would a German soldier have been out in the fields on his own. the sounds of gun shots travel far in open space yet no one heard any shots in an area far from the invasion areas and investigated. It is supposed to be based on true events which i find highly unlikely. How film makers get away with making such rubbish is a travesty to all the millions who died during WW2. The soundtrack is also awful and in parts has an opera style female vocal in the background which is totally put of place. I regret squandering my money on this rubbish.

This is no Saving Private Ryan, but a) I don't think that is what they were trying to achieve and b) I bet the budget for the entire movie was equal to the lowest paid extra in Saving Private Ryan! It has all of the qualities of a plausible set of events, and I believe that short of the one scene (you'll know it when you see it), I doubt the plot is far from how it really happened. The acting was good, although the fatalities in the flying bullets scenes need to refine the 'sack of spuds' principal, it actually looked more like they were coached to 'tuck and roll'! I particularly liked the fact that they didn't try and add too many people in the 'events'. I personally find it unrealistic in some movies that you don't see the individual vehicle traveling along the road. I believe that Rommel was actually wounded because a pilot did see a single staff car opportunity and took it! Not everywhere was full on convoys. To sum up; great story line and very believable (on the whole), good acting and most of all entertaining as well as having realistic characters. I would suggest to anyone that enjoys a 'based on true events' movie, this is a good watch.

I created an IMDb account just to say something about this film. First of all, the whole film is about the 3 stooges and the dumb and dumber combined. Though not as funny as the latter. They begin the story with the man in the machine gun, and some asshole dude told this johnny boy to stay alert because the krauts are all over the place. At that instance, I almost throw my coffee cup at our smart TV. Thankfully I didn't. After some hassle and haggle with the bullets flying all around, only johnny boy survived the carnage. The stupid dude, together with the royal forces were wipe out. So johnny went for a walk and stumble upon a homo krauts along the way, there they exchange pictures of their love ones and parted ways, then suddenly an English homo shot the homo krauts. From then on, a series of homo story begin with plenty of ridiculous moments in between. To make the story short, the war ended, and one of the stooges married the leader of the french resistance, whose weapon is her twinkling eyes. Sooooo stupid......The movie is HORRIBLE and ANNOYING! A complete waste that shouldn't be recycled.
