Audience Member In general I like most WWII movies...some or way better than others. This one happens to be one of those alright WWII movies. It an Italian production and focuses largely on the Italian soldiers; a point of view that is rarely seen. Worth the watch if you enjoy WWII movies. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
