Exciting, profound, and exceptional war film ..............

Rating: 7/10 (21 February 2010)

Hollywood could never make a film like "Saints and Soldiers", because Hollywood is not real itself, so how could it ever make such a realistic war movie? Everything about this film seems entirely believable. The viewer experiences first hand, the plight of four American soldiers and one British flier, trying desperately to reach an Allied command post with vital information. Trudging through the snow covered forest, behind enemy lines, with only one weapon between them, trying to survive, makes "Saints and Soldiers" a very tense watch, and an absolute must see for fans of World War 2 movies. Everything is based on fact, and it is truly rare to find such an exciting, profound, and exceptional war film. Highly recommended. - MERK
