Fantasy Turned Into Un-Even Movie

Rating: 6/10 (27 December 2010)

I am not a big fan of Brad Pitt. This film did not help me change that opinion. There are good sequences & performances here, but as a whole, this film is not something great. In fact, it put me to sleep except I'd jerk awake whenever there were shooting sequences.
The film is based on a fiction work of a unit of Jews organized to get even with the Nazi's by killing them, & then locating Hitler & his henchman & killing them too. While this dream works for some folks, to me the real story of attempts on Hitler are much more interesting. In fact, there is a better story that could be made into a movie.
That true story is the Eastern Front Story of the Russians wiping out Nazi's at a faster rate than even these folks do in this movie. For some reason, now that this history is available, nobody has tried a movie depiction of it yet. Of course this story could make a real epic film. A recreation of some of the tank battles that happened on the Eastern front would make good cinema because the largest tank battles in World War 2 happened on that front.
This movie while it has some decent parts, does not make it as a whole. The parts make it rate a 6 on my book. If you take the best parts out, then it falls to a 3.
