We Go in at Dawn

This movie is so poor don't waste your time on it. You will curl up laughing at the numerous mistakes. Here are a few. Shoes left the other side of a moat then later they are wearing them. Pows locked up in a barn secured by a simple latch that operates on both sides of the door. A pow drawing fire from a machine gun by running slowly then standing still. The final mistake is when the lead says the invasion will start tomorrow 6 June when we all know it was due the start on 5 June but due to bad weather it was postponed 24 hours.

Bad acting, bad story, bad script, bad continuity, bad editing - just BAD.

Did not enjoy this one. Mediocre actors, historically Incorrect, archetypical Germans, glorification of resistance and its enablers. Cheap special effect matching the performance of the actors. N-th iteration of the subject. Very boring, not entertaining at all in my view. It's probably better to spend your viewing time with an accurate documentary on the subject.

I honestly don't think the 1 & 2 star reviews are totally fair as I have seen far worse movies. Admittedly its not brilliant by any stretch of the imagination and maybe 5 is a little too generous but I didn't think it was a total write off.

I think the biggest issue with this film is that any war movie dealing with action and combat sequences needs a big budget and the budget constraints were clearly visible here. The audience has to be able to suspend belief and feel that it really is Occupied France in 1944 and that these events are really going on which sadly I didn't. It looked and felt more like a film made in the woods near my home last week. The script was poor, the action sequences lacked much action and as another poster pointed out historical accuracy has to be key.

I really like Kelvin Fletcher and had really hoped this would be an enjoyable and entertaining movie and I think he did the best he could with what he had to work with. But sadly the whole thing was a disappointment which was sad as the story itself clearly had some potential.

Low budget yes, cliched and wooden and what surprised me was that I viewed it to the end.
