Take it for what it is

Rating: 8/10 (18 December 2014)

This is not a historical film or even based on a true story. It simply is WW2 themed action flick. For that, it is very good film. I don't understand why some reviews criticize for historic values. That's like expecting historical accuracy from James Bond series.
The movie is well acted, well scripted and well told. Actions are not over the top and although some explosion effects looked fake, it doesn't take away from the story.
Matthew McConaughey is sometimes criticized for his acting early in his career but I actually think he did a very good job portraying the young inexperienced captain in this movie.
