Not as great as it's made out to be...

Rating: 7/10 (3 May 2020)

So I felt like this was a "Saving Private Ryan" rip-off... but not nearly as good. Instead of a squad of men out to save a private, a corporal and private are ordered to save a brother and 1600 soldiers. And my first thought, only a corporal and a private are used to save a division of soldiers? Why did this get so much praise? The cinematography was incredible, the suspense and buildup were enthralling, but that's were it stopped. The story was not at all believable, the characters weren't relatable, it made the German's look like the worst shots in the war, the military tactics were deplorable, and the ending was almost humorous. Saving Private Ryan is the hallmark. Band of Brothers is a close second. Even Fury was far more interesting. Other than the visuals, this was just okay... and those English accents were hard to understand!
