Very good acting

Rating: 9/10 (26 February 2002)

This movie was not what I expected. I thought it was going to be a Die Hard WWII film. It was not, but what it was was a very well acted study of what people go through in war. Collin Farrell's performance was one of the best I have seen so far this year. This was a very good acted and directed movie.
One of the things that I like about it was how it made everything that happened in 1944 seem so contemporary. What I mean is that, the P-51's looked like the most High-tech aircraft, the music they played sounded like new, and the Tanks and equipment were all first class. It was the first movie I have seen that made me feel that 1944 was modern times. Also the idea that everyone in the film had to deal with things they were not to proud of made everyone more human and made the movie something different then what Hollywood is putting out these days. So if you are looking for a Die Hard film you might not like this one. But if you are looking for a well acted realistic move, I think you will be pleasantly surprised, as I was.
