Exceptional film, great script, excellent cast. Deserves a large audience!

Rating: Null/10 (24 January 2004)

"Saints and Soldiers" is an excellent film by any measure. Made on a shoestring, it has a high-budget studio look. The film is built on a fine script which tells the compelling story of four Americans and an Englishman behind German lines making their way back to the protection of Allied forces. It's little-known cast provides exceptional performances. It is a tale of humanity set in the inhumanity of war. Ryan Little has made a story of faith and friendship that is universal and inspiring, despite the harsh realities of battle depicted in the film. It deserves the largest possible audience. "Saints and Soldiers" represents the best of what idependent film should aspire to be.
