What a waste

Rating: 4/10 (17 February 2018)

Yet again a US film which puts in the resources to recreate realistic elements of scenes, equipment, weapons, towns, etc, and yet again a film which ends up focusing on a bunch of cry babies with imaginary friends. Why does Hollywood spend so much time delaying action to ensure that the audience can see that characters have feelings? Why assume the audience has a very low emotional IQ? The film is ruined by the entirely unrealistic final overlong scene, where five US troops hold up several companies of Germans, who strangely put themselves in fairground style positions to ensure they will be shot, have a sniper who is strangely inaccurate from short distances, troops who do not know how to use antitank weapons, and who are entirely incapable of dealing with a single crippled tank.
