Calum Marsh New York Times [Luke's] writing is thin and tends regularly toward platitudes, with characters spouting wisdom like “the cards have to fall where they fall.” May 18, 2023 Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix Come Out Fighting is an excruciatingly awful World War II combat movie that is an insult to history and an insult to anyone who was a part of this war. It's hard to watch this junkpile movie's visual effects, dialogue, and acting, which are all terrible. Aug 6, 2023 Full Review Monique Jones Common Sense Media Fans of World War II action/dramas are sure to enjoy this film. Set at a comfortably brisk pace, Come Out Fighting gives viewers some insight into the real-life 761st Battalion. Rated: 4/5 May 30, 2023 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews A script filled with cliches. Rated: B- May 22, 2023 Full Review Mike McGranaghan Aisle Seat A movie about the contribution of African-Americans in WWII could be both important and stirring. Come Out Fighting is neither. Rated: 1/4 May 20, 2023 Full Review Julian Roman MovieWeb Come Out Fighting has good intentions but struggles to be rousing and cinematic. Moments of genuine camaraderie are muddied by low-budget visual effects, questionable editing, and poorly defined, generic Nazi antagonists. Rated: 2.5/5 May 19, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

William L 15:09 in video the fake loading ammunition just lost my attention, how does a director make a mistake like this, I can only imagine what is about to come of this Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/08/23 Full Review Tim H The movie was awful! It's the worst movie I've ever seen, and that's without getting into all the racist crap they put into the movie. Nobody cares about perpetual victimhood anymore, yet, Hollyweird elites still insist on pushing that crap down our throats as much as they possibly can! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/28/23 Full Review colton G The CGI is absolutely aweful, the way they shoot at eachother is a joke, everything looks incredibly fake and the acting is hard to even watch. I rented for 5$ on amazon and i could not have been more disappointed. Please do not rent this movie, it was truly aweful. I literally could not finish it. Its a disgrace and disrespectful to the men and women who served in WW2. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/25/23 Full Review Dustin C If no stars was an option, I would've done that! The acting in this movie plus the special effects was literally the worst movie I have ever watched! Do yourself a favor and just pick a different movie to watch because this is literally the worst movie ever made! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/23/23 Full Review Rudy S Excrutiatingly painful to watch. It is historically inaccurate. Most, if not all of the story is fiction. If you're looking for an accurate portrayal of the 761st Tank Batralion in WWII and it's heroic actions during the war, this isn't it. It isn't even in the ball park. Again, it is fiction and that's being kind. The acting is atrocious, I mean the German speak English with a german accent. I thought that went out im thec1950s. Well, at least they got the uniforms right for the most part. I dont have enough space to list everything wrong with this "movie". If you want the real story of the 761st Tank Battalion go get the book, "The Black Panthers: A Story of Race, War, and Courage : the 761st Tank Battalion in World War II" by Gina M. DiNicolo. It is available through Amazon and Westholme Publishing. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/23/23 Full Review bob w I found this (non)gem for sale on Prime. Sometimes a movie is so bad that it is good, but this movie is so bad it stays bad. Right away you will notice how horrible the CGI is--low budget would be overstating, more like someone lifted sequences from a circa 2000 video game. The movie feels like a high school film class project in terms of writing, acting, directing, etc. The plot is convoluted as the film cannot decide if it is an action film, a suspense drama, epic war movie, or social commentary on racial issues in the military. I will admit, though, that the high point of the film was the action sequence during the rescue, but only since we all laughed so hard at the absurdity of it. That unintended comedic moment is what saved my heartburn over the 2.99 rental fee. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
