Decent story poor execution.

Rating: 5/10 (12 July 2015)

The story of a tank unit fighting in WWII Germany. Outmanned and out gunned fighting their way through Nazi territory. Brad pit leads this cast and actually gives a good performance. Supported by Shia Labeouf who is the tanks gunman. As they travel from town to town the encounter various types of resistance from the German army. Time and time the little tank unit is tested and each time they are the bond between them grows and grows. The plot is quite intriguing however the execution was a miss. The gun fights look like they are straight out of Star Wars. Red and green lasers firing across the battlefield, I actually did a double take. I kept waiting for a Jedi to swoop in and take out some storm troopers. Predictability ran throughout the whole movie right down to the different type of men in the unit. The newbie, the bible thumper, the renegade, the minority, and of course the hard nose leader that stares death in the face and never gives up especially when the odds are overwhelming. War is terrible and the movie does show that but nothing makes it stand out over others.
