Four American soldiers set out on the grueling ascent of an Italian mountainside in the closing days of World War II. Haunted by their evil sergeant's cold-blooded murder of a young woman and with only an old Italian man of uncertain loyalties as their guide.

Ellen E Jones

Guardian

Bausch's book has been praised for its existential profundity on religious matters, but very little of that makes it to the screen.

Rated: 2/5

Los Angeles Times

If tension was the filmmakers' aim, they decisively miss - especially if it was meant to come from the puzzlingly casual sniper situation. Any possibility of buying into the story's reality is defused by the soldiers being so dang gabby, and loudly so.

Like many war movies that have their intended impacts, it is effective in reminding us of the sacrifices made by those who've served their nation.

Rated: 2.5/4

Just when you chuckle over someone's comment, there is an unusual sound to disturb the moment. The audience begins to get the feel of being alone, really alone.

Rated: 3.5/5

I enjoyed the conflicts they each faced. I found the music score to be irritating and detracted from movie. Shame they didn't use a professional move score composer.

They never shut the fuck up. I was rooting for the Germans to kill them because they deserve it for never shutting up in a RECON mission.

Who goes on a recon mission yelling at each other while searching for the enemy? All wrong. The movie tries to be something it's not thus a disappointment.
