Come Out Fighting

I'm a big fan of some of the actors in this movie, like Michael Jai White and Tyrese Gibson. This movie has a few good points but many bad. But it's not the worst WWII movie I've seen. It does portray the stress of battle well, showing how Lt. Hayes is suffering from battle fatigue (PTSD) and how that can affect soldiers, and Hyram Murphy did a good job portraying that. Tyrese Gibson also did a good job portraying a tank commander who has seen too much. The movie did an okay job of showing how black soldiers faced prejudice during the war, such as white soldiers refusing to salute or doing so grudgingly, but I feel that could have been done better. Many of the battle scenes were poorly executed and the CGI effects, which would have been decent for the early 90s, are about unforgivable for 2022. Overall it was okay, but many moments left me groaning and asking "seriously?". There was obviously either a very poor military technical adviser or none at all, as many of the battle tactics and maneuvering were haphazard and sloppy. The story doesn't specify (or I missed it if it did) what month/year it took place, but unless it was mid-1944 or later, seeing the German ME-262 jet fighter would have not have been realistic. However, I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt and accept that the timing could have been correct for its appearance. Overall, I rated it a 5 because I liked the story, but this movie could have been executed much better with an experienced director and military technical adviser. Worth the watch? Honestly, I can't give a positive answer.

I agree with this:

I'm not sure why and who keeps funding writer and director Steven Luke's war films, but he needs to take up a new hobby - maybe Laser Tag with some kids, so he can learn tactical engagement. This has to be one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Calling this a B film would be a compliment, but this barely classifies as a C film.

All there is, is a bunch of nonsense dialogue and horrible acting in war scenes that will make you pull a muscle from eyerolls and cringing. A five year old can set up more realistic warfare engagement battle scenes using little plastic green army men. In the first battle, they can't see an ambush out in the open, but are able to reach the ambush with hand grenades lol. And there's so much more laughable tactics and cheesy dialogue, this mess should've been labeled a comedy. If you think you've seen bad B films with Michael Jai White and Dolph Lundgren, this one takes the cake. They even convinced Tyrese Gibson to be in this, which I'm sure he's regretting now, especially when this came out the same as Fast X. It's a generous 1/10 from me, in pity for Gibson.

Complete nonsense. The tiger would shoot them all like a shooting range. The Germans fought well. Ambushing tanks with mortars and heavy machine guns and not hitting a single vehicle is ridiculous and counterattacking with rifles is complete nonsense.

It's a pity that I can not put 0 or even -1. The agenda steers to the detriment of realism. Directing - 0, cameraman - 0, script - -5.

If you want to see real combat actions - see "Rescue of Private Raivn". And call a detachment of sappers to clear the mines in a combat situation and stand upright on open terrain with the whole team .. what were you smoking there when you came up with this dregs,)))

The storyline is typical, 'rescue your commanding officer from behind enemy lines'. The acting for the most part was terrible. The use of CGI, special effects were abysmal. And they portrayed the Germans as very inept. If I didn't pay $6 to rent off Fandango I would have turned it off. I suppose the makers of this film rented the vehicles used from collectors or museums, none seemed destroyed during the fight scenes. Just sparks and puffs of smoke when impacted by bazookas or artillery. No field officers could read a map. It was a sadly made movie. I gave it 4 stars only because I like WWII movies.

First and foremost, it feels like this movie was directed and produced by a 4-year-old. With that in mind, be prepared for an agonizing cinematic experience that will leave you yearning for the sweet release of a ceasefire.

From the moment the opening credits roll, it becomes apparent that the filmmakers have absolutely no understanding of the art of war or the essence of a compelling narrative. If one can even call it that, the plot is a jumbled mess of clichés and nonsensical sequences that fail to form a coherent whole.

The characters are one-dimensional caricatures devoid of any depth or meaningful development. Their interactions are stilted and devoid of emotional resonance, leaving the audience disconnected and apathetic toward their fates. The script is not worthy of being played in a high school drama; it made talented actors like Tyrese Gibson, Michael Jai White, and Dolph Lundgren (who are great actors) look like comedy skit makers.

The action sequences, supposedly the film's saving grace, are a disorienting mishmash of shaky camerawork and incomprehensible editing. It's as if the filmmakers strapped cameras to a group of drunken monkeys and let them loose on the battlefield. The result is a chaotic and headache-inducing visual assault that leaves the viewer disoriented and utterly unengaged.

Even the production values, or lack thereof, contribute to the film's unmitigated disaster. The sets are uninspired and cheaply constructed, while the special effects are laughably amateurish. The sound design is a cacophony of misplaced explosions and exaggerated gunfire, further adding to the overall assault on the senses.

This movie is a cinematic debacle that fails on every conceivable level. It insults the intelligence of its audience, tarnishes the reputation of war films, and should serve as a cautionary tale for aspiring filmmakers. Save your time, your money, and your sanity by avoiding this cinematic atrocity at all costs.

I wish I could give this a minus 10-star rating. Even movies made in the 40s make more sense than this. What a waste of my precious time. I would only recommend this movie to those contemplating assisted suicide as a means of escaping this world.
