completely raw violence

Rating: 8/10 (2 November 2014)

i have seen pretty much every WWII movie there is, and i must confess, this one truly shocked me. the level of violence portrayed by this movie was beyond anything i have ever seen. it really has got me thinking, was this what really happened or was it an exaggeration of reality to make good action scenes? i obviously knew that WWII wasn't a walk in the park, but, i mean, it's just jaw dropping what happens throughout the movie, the scene where the tank enters a small village, and one of the characters asks a question to an old man walking by and then all of a sudden someone shoots the old man tearing his head right of, was just pure shock to me. on top of this the movie doesn't really have a story line per se, so you just pay full attention to their day to day. Because of this, the great acting, the amazingly good scenario, the special effects, the raw, unedited violence i think this is the most realistic movie i have ever seen.
