A movie crippled by American self-regarding sentimentality

Rating: 4/10 (29 November 2000)

Yet another movie from Hollywood drenched in self-regarding sentimentality. The Americans are wonderful, the Germans cowardly or brutal. Imagine seeing this if you were German? In fact, the Germans were excellent soldiers, and the Americans had a reputation for incompetence. Other nations are absent, as only America won the war. A movie crippled by its own ideological premises.
