Compelling Dramatic War Action

Rating: 5/10 (28 August 2015)

This movie seems to spend about half the time inside their tank with about a whole lot of Germans trying to get in. As a lot of this greatest generation is gone, there is few very few proud people who could address realism in the story. Brad Pitt and the cast do make it feel like the real thing. As the relation to the real World War 2 fades out, it feels like this kind of stuff has been done before. If someone really wants to get some fresh material going, some good Eastern Front Drama might attract more audience. The accounts of the Russians taking every woman from 7 to 70 when they entered Berlins tells me that front has a lot of emotion not yet depicted in movies.
This is the western front towards the end there is material not covered but there are some excellent films already made about this.
There are always films of action films and this is made well enough to make that fan happy. The hard part for the USSR recreating their war would be the true use of the Ford Trucks by the Russians.
