Atrás da Linha: Fuga para Dunkirk

A film with a low budget, poor production, a plot of mediocre actors, a terrible costume research and history in general.

Its very low budget. Story is so cliché .Low quality acting. But he.. Nice try. Next time better

Good premise - boxing behind enemy lines, but appallingly non-dramatic in emphasis at key moments. The moral dilemma of our Irish-named prize-fighter with an English accent was made a bit laughable by the unbelievable, good-cop, evil-cop, well spoken, Oxford-educated personality of our sadistic Nazi, camp-commandant. And. as for an Ending? Well lets just say they were low on resources to show anything realistically decent. One or two good points, however, such as the worrisome rawness of the British expeditionary force in contrast to the professionalism of hardened Germans, & the French "paysannes" who were well portrayed, both in manner, and with good props.

I watched this movie open-minded (It supposedly had an 8 on IMDB, before the negative reviews came in). I was fairly disappointed straight from the beginning, mostly due to VERY illogical behavior from the main characters, rather average acting, terrible foreign languages (I speak German and I can't understand half the German lines lol), weird plot turns.

Right in the beginning the characters are faced with a situation where they can a) do nothing b) attack or c) find a creative solution. They script, almost like always, chooses the most boring option A rather than either the logical or the creative options. That makes the movie very boring to watch, without any surprises.

I was constantly hoping for some kind of interesting turn of events, but even when the options were presented the makers decided to take the greyest possible choice and return back to flatline. The movie essentiall is trying to portray ww2 by showing a horse and wagon, people in uniforms and 'old barns' - otherwise it's decidedly absent and the story is really just about a few guys who make dumb choices all the time.

Barely worth the watch despite that I'm heavily into ww2. Sorry, I'd have liked to like this!

The film looks very promising at first, but when we realize we are facing a weak story, with a badly tied ending. Don't have high expectations when watching the movie.
