Definitely Worth a Watch

Rating: 8/10 (28 December 2014)

It's April, 1945 and the war in Germany is rapidly coming to an end. However, Adolf Hitler and the Nazis refuse to surrender just yet and are putting up as much of a fierce defense as they can. This movie follows a specific tank crew as they fight their way forward against stiff resistance. Of particular concern is the fact that their Sherman tank is quite inferior to the Tiger tank of the Germans. However, the tank commander, "Don Collier" (Brad Pitt) is both dedicated and determined and he has a well-seasoned crew serving with him. Unfortunately, after an extremely fierce battle he loses one of his men and the replacement named "Norman Ellison" (Logan Lerman) is too young and inexperienced to handle the job right away. As a result he is not only a danger to the crew but to himself as well. Now rather than reveal any more of this film and risk ruining it for those who haven't seen it I will just say that this was a very good movie which had outstanding action and seemed realistic from start to finish. Definitely worth a watch.
