Bad film with a bad story and a bad Pitt

Rating: 3/10 (29 December 2014)

I don't know where to start with this. Let's concentrate on the cast first. Brad Pitt shows his weakest performance ever in this movie. You can hear how he had just memorized his German phrases phonetically. He is supposed to care for the crew of his tank, but most of the times he just looks annoyed and bored. I remember that look, I had the same after watching this film. The rest of the crew is just a collection of stereotypes; the untrained Bambi, the ruthless bible thumper, the annoying redneck and the Mexican as a stand-in for a black guy. The story has more holes than a Swiss cheese. A cliché love trope between the Bambi and a blonde trophy chick. The crew behaves in ways that would have gotten them court-martialed ten times over. A lone Tiger in the middle of nowhere with gasoline in the tank. Sure. A battalion SS marching with an abundance of Panzerfausts slung over their shoulders, and yet they get horribly butchered by a tracked tank in the middle of a road that has roadside ditches left and right and they all of a sudden have to bring in their "last" Panzerfausts in crates and still don't get the job done. Film, story and acting are bad. Do not watch this film without some friends and lots of beverage around. If you make a "Spot the Cliché" drinking game, you'll be half dead thirty minutes into the film.
