A clean language World War II movie with uplifting values.

Rating: Null/10 (17 May 2004)

It is hard to view a war movie with out a lot of profanity and sex, but this movie, Saints and Soldiers accomplishes that in a very moving way. One cannot watch this movie with out being moved by the characters and their values. Set in Germany during WWII behind enemy lines, five soldiers try to return with information that could help save other comrades lives. You are treated to real feelings and differences between their backgrounds and comradeship, their beliefs and values. The interaction between the soldiers was captivating and very believable. This is a movie that will make you evaluate your values and your feelings about war, death, and different cultures. It doesn't come across as too sugary or overly bloody, but their is some intense fighting and blood is inevitable. Saints and Soldiers doesn't dwell and the blood and gore however. Few movies leave you feeling uplifted, but this one accomplishes that with a difficult script, war. I would give it a 9.5 rating! TraderLee
