Average at best

Rating: 1/10 (1 November 2008)

This movie is a transparent compilation of WW2 movie clichés and a Mormon propaganda vehicle. The corny religious overtones are amateurish at best and insulting at worst. I tried to like this movie and I am puzzled by the awards it received. The characters are one dimensional and I had no empathy for their plight. The ridiculousness of the main character encountering the 1 in 17 million Germans he had known on his "mission" is laughable. The religious mystical bullshit is an insult to all the real combatants and victims of a necessary war. Thank God not all soldiers were castrated by fairy tales and were able to stand in the defense of democracy.
