Alone We Fight

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.

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.

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).

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?

Really horrible script and storyline. Amazing how all the soldiers in the movie, Axis and Allied, had nearly spotless uniforms. Even the mechanized equipment was spotless without damage or even a smudge of dirt.
