If you enjoy war movies with a message, this is it.

Rating: Null/10 (20 October 2006)

Simply one of the most powerful WW2 films every produced. Well acted throughout with no clichés. An emotional gut twister with moral and spiritual undertones. Redemption in the midst of the craziness of war. I highly recommend this film. This film starts out hitting the ground running and never lets up. The characterizations are right on target. The director definitely had a deft hand in this telling of one of the most tragic episodes of the second world war. In the taking of human life, life becomes sacred. A war movie that makes you think, makes you feel proud, and causes you to examine the sacrifices soldiers make for one another under the most dire of circumstances. This film proves you don't have to spend a hundred million dollars to produce a film that packs an emotional wallop.
