[Luke's] writing is thin and tends regularly toward platitudes, with characters spouting wisdom like “the cards have to fall where they fall.”

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.

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.

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

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

That has the be the worst movie ive ever seen the acting was horrible. The cgi im sure was made by a 6thgrade class if lucky. Theres a scene where one of the men is firing a 50 cal Yet the bullets are coming out the belt feed as if the 50 is loading them into a belt not shooting them its totally in reverse. I wouldnt have been suprised to see them take out the tiger tank at the end with a hand gun it was that bad.

A movie better not made. The plot is ridiculous, the characters simply cliches. Nothing hangs together and at times it appears that the characters are not aware of the plot as it has unfolded. The initial air combat scenes and two subsequent sequences involving Mustangs and ME/BF109s are the only parts worth seeing.

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!

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.
