Film Frenzy

The war-is-hell theme is handled clumsily.

Rated: 2.5/4

...those still living WWII in their heads will find much to enjoy; with Segal, Gazzara and other in lockstep with the tough-guy, 'war makes a man of you' theme, this is one for aging boys to savour

Rated: 3/5

This film is similar to most NBA games, you could have watched only the last ten minutes and not missed a thing.

Always a fan of this movie. Realitively velievable story and good acting. I lived in Germany for 7 years and Ive been to the bridge 4 times. The set and area that they used- looks kinda close to the opriginal. Some great actors- fun to watch.

Knowing a little bit about history, I know this isn't a documentary but when you take and use authentic uniforms, equipment, vehicles and using a Europe countryside. I think you hit the mark to give you a actual look at what it looked like for the GI. 's fighting in Europe.

To be quite honest with you, I found a lot to enjoy. I think the action sequences are some of the best I’ve ever seen in a war movie from this era. Obviously modern technology can make much better stuff, but for its time it is rather impressive. The acting is serviceable too, and unlike everyone else apparently I found the story intriguing. I really liked the fact Krueger got executed in the end, that was sweet. I like how Hartman went from a hard ass about making friends because he was afraid to lose them, only to end up being great friends with Angel. I’m not expert about WWII, in fact I should really look into this battle to find where the inconsistencies lie, but I think it was handled fine. The psychological aspect was set up quite well, only for the payoff to be less than desirable. Overall it was decent. 3/5 stars.

There's some inconsistencies with this movie, and i don't need to be historian to notice. I get the ideas they wanted to portray, but they excecuted it poorly. The action sequences and acting were fine, but the rest was kind of awful. Still It's watchable.
