Alone We Fight

Avoid this movie-

Army Rangers are supposed to be fit, not fat. Send 3 soldiers to attack a fuel depot? Really? No German SS soldier can aim and shoot ? The German soldiers take cover behind fuel drums?

Very, Very Poor movie. High school level acting. Action scenes, poor. Any idiot that thinks a mortar round explodes like shown here knows nothing about reality. Weapon fire is a joke, from sound to recoil, the Thompson was never on full auto, which anyone would have done. If there was a book it had to be better.

The movie had potential. Other than Benson the actors are unknowns, but they showed promise. The story was basic but doable. The two technical consultants should refund their salaries, it was that bad. If this had been done by a college level fine arts student it would be lauded as a good effort. But its not. Its a waste of time, money and talent. Its too obviously a low budget film. Other reviewers have pointed out errors in weather, and lack of dirt on equipment and people. I have been a casual student of war fof quite some time, and before this i have never seen German troops wearing bandanas to hide their faces. Maybe it makes sense for the sniper, but not for anyone else. Unless the producer only had one person qualified to play the German part, and they had to hide his face.

I love a good war flick so I tend to forgive budget issues, which this one clearly had. It suffers mostly from being the "three guys stuck in the wilderness" trope that lets the producers avoid expansive scenes they don't have the budget for, but, as those films tend to do, this one bogs down real quick.

How do you fight a war after landing in Normandy and not have a scratch on the tank, tents are clean and look new, helmets without a scratch.
