Unfiltered Raw Emotion

Rating: Null/10 (18 May 2006)

The opening to this film provides, perhaps, the most gut-wrenching battle scenes ever filmed. The sounds of bullets whizzing through the air and screams of the wounded and dying coupled with an occasional, momentary respite from the cacophonous din of battle, while underwater, had me trying to crawl over the back of my theater seat just trying to get away.
The story line is adequate but, for me, the real value was the historical glimpse into what my father's generation faced during the European campaigns of WWII. This movie clearly explains the message "War is Hell!"
