Critics Consensus

While it draws heavily on war movie conventions, Saints and Soldiers has strong performances and a compelling central plot.

Nick De Semlyen

Empire Magazine

Despite the odd clunking mis-step and aspirations above its rank, this has enough going for it to get it home safely.

Rated: 3/5

Janice Page

Boston Globe

There aren't any plot surprises in this low-budget effort, so the success of the mission from a viewer standpoint depends on how well you connect with the characters and their plight.

Rated: 2.5/4

A worthy effort that's entirely appropriate for mainstream audiences.

David Parkinson

Radio Times

The authentic-sounding banter helps to round out the characters' backstories, too, but the acting isn't the best and Heyborne's limey accent borders on parody.

Well-made short war movie. Although you spend so little time with the characters, you can feel for them.

SAINTS AND SOLDIERS really works as a realistic WWII combat and drama flick. Too bad there aren't more of these made; all three of the series are good and I'd recommend them to anyone.

A not very interesting low budget unfocussed slow-moving movie about relationships between a group of soldiers behind enemy lines in WW2, as they encounter, intermittently, the enemy, and acquire a new objective. We didn't get to know the characters, so we weren't made to care much about what might happen to them.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

The most astonishing thing about this film is the fact that it is a top-quality film that was made by producers, crew, and actors whose names are unknown in Hollywood. After watching the movie on DVD, I watched the featurette about how it was made. I can hardly believe that a film as good as this was produced on a budget of under a million dollars.
