If you liked Pitt in Inglourious Basterds you might like this

Rating: 4/10 (1 February 2015)

Brat Pitt self indulgence and while the first half of the film shows the harsh realities of war, you know with a Pitt war film, this is going to degenerate as it goes along and on that score, Brad does not disappoint. Given I like a bit of historical context and accuracy in a film and they had someone from the dreadful Inglourious Basterds involved, this film went down the same path. It's not bad up till the completely over the top last twenty minutes. Its not anything to write home about either up to the last twenty. It does show the brutality of war, and some questionable morals with the attitude towards prisoners, something Band of Brothers and Thin red Line also hinted towards.
Had to look an see if Quentin Tarantino directed the end of this film given how over the top it all was as all the Germans were missing were bullseye targets on their uniforms as Brad manages to wipe out half their army in one night. It makes the German army incapable of taking over even a dog kennel. Kinda reminds me of Hot Shots! Part Deux when the Iraqis were coming out with bulleyse target and there was a score counter at the end of the screen saying it was surpassing other films kill totals.
Like cartoon violence really at the end and maybe they forgot to add in Yosemite Sam as one of Brads crew. If would give historians something to think about given history tells us that 80+% of German casualties were caused by the Russians but we would have to re-write history and at least attribute 20% to Brad alone. Maybe that is why we see little in terms of film on the Eastern front in what was truly brutal compared to the western campaigns. Of course at the end, you do wonder why the US Army didn't sent Brad on his own to win the war. Hopefully Pitt never makes another war film.
