Alone We Fight

Everyone in this movie is 40-50 years old. The movie is set in the Hurtgen forest in December 1944 but the looks more like august 1944: there are green leaves on the trees and weeds everywhere. The story is stiff and concocted. Uniforms are fairly authentic except when there seems to be a Wehrmacht soldier hanging out with SS troopers in SS camo. All these Nazis are 50 years old. Find some actors under 20 FFS already. Avoid this film at all costs.

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.

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.

It's a WWII. I watched until a soldier said, "They didn't get us at Normandy, they didn't get us in Nam". What! Nam? Are you kidding me? Terrible writing all through. And two female medics on the front line. Geez.

This is the 3rd flop I've seen this year from Justin Lee. Who puts up the money for this garbage? Does he not know how to write a screenplay or direct his actors? I guess this is the result when all your experience in writing and directing is TV series. At least give one of those hats to a professional that can teach you something before you try to do it all yourself when taking on a full length feature film and make the same mistakes over and over every time. Maybe then one of your films may get a rating higher than a 5.

This once again was another long dragged out dumb story that goes nowhere with lousy pacing and boring extended scenes that make you yawn. The dialogue was just non-stop insignificant garble. The grenade effects were lame little ant-hill explosions. The actors voices were either too loud or barely legible. Even the actors looked bored. And enough with the slow motion scenes, it's so 1980's.

This film should have been edited down to a 30 min TV film. A generous 2/10 for the cinematography and war sets (albeit minimal).
