Hard to Believe People are this Dumb

Rating: 2/10 (1 January 2010)

I am not the sharpest tool in the shed. I failed a lot of classes in high school including history and I know Hitler didn't get shot, burnt, and blown up in a French theater. I think every school kid knows he shot himself in a bunker a coward's death. This movie not only glorifies Hilter's death but also glorifies mutilation of enemy soldiers. Also unless I am wrong, "Nazi" was a word pertaining to a political party. Much like democrat or republican, if you were to think about it not all German soldiers were in the Nazi party they got drafted, and shot if they fled. This movies like many others paints the German race as pure evil and messes with history. There is a lot of subtitles that fly by so if you are a slow reader as I am, keep the DVD remote handy to pause it. Most of the movie is spoken in French and German with very little English. I wouldn't call this an "Action Movie" since most of the movie is coffee talk. One scene is about strudel it goes on too long as many of the talking scenes are nothing about the plot...
Also if you are watching it expecting a remake of the 1978 Italian movie of the same title, it is not. The plot lines are mile apart and I prefer the Italian movie which is much better.
