Smaller budget movie in need of bigger acting talents

Rating: 6/10 (6 February 2014)

Four American soldiers escape after the Germans massacre POW early in the Battle of the Bulge. They rescue a British flyer who has important information. The five men try to return back to the Allied lines through hostile territories.
It's a pretty simple story for most of the movie. The characters are written with some interesting personalities. However the actors can't exceed what's on the page. They just don't have the power to fill the screen. Corbin Allred probably comes the closest to something great. At the end of the day, this is a low budget affair. The big action scenes in the last 15 minutes probably ate up most of the money. It would be great to see some first rate actors take up these roles instead.
