GREAT FILM,SOUND,ACTING. FEW FLAWS. overall=recommend

Rating: 8/10 (29 October 2014)

This movie was much better than what I had expected, no sugar coating the horrors of war here. An intense film, I was thoroughly engaged throughout almost the entire movie, it keeps you on edge until the very end.
The sound effects, wow, it felt like you were there experiencing the bombs being dropped nearby.
The soundtrack, sound effects!!, filming, and acting are excellent but the fierce action scenes although superb to watch were at times unrealistic. The 300 or so SS battalion seemingly running aimlessly from a single battle tank in their way and not being able to over take it... hmmm.
There were a few moments that I found to be cliché/cheesy (with young soldier and girl for example) but overall a solid, entertaining, engaging movie.
The acting! Top Notch. The leads, Pitt, Lerman, Peña, Bernthal gave especially great performances, LaBeouf has a good one as well. The acting really made this movie.
Recommending this film.
