Seven Lost

This independent movie based on World War II is one of the most interesting and intelligent movies I've seen this year. There are many movies that chronicle the journey of a soldier in a war, but this particular film goes much further than any other. The writing is incredibly brilliant and constantly makes you feel sympathy for each of the characters, who are surprisingly interesting. The performances are wonderful, especially Michael Placencia who plays the main Sargeant character.

The direction of the "Seven Lost" makes you feel as if you are with them, allowing you to be part of the journey in the entirety of the film. Few filmmakers can direct a war movie as good as this one.

From a technical perspective, "Seven Lost" is an absolute achievement in cinema. It is a visually beautiful film with stunning cinematography. The sound effects and mixing are possibly the best I've ever heard in a movie! The shots are loud, scary and realistic.

Considering this is an indie movie, I was absolutely blown away by the use of CGI as it looks incredibly real. The wardrobe and makeup department should also be celebrated as they did an amazing job.

I love when filmmakers have insight when making a war movie. You can see the amount of research that went into portraying the soldiers, their struggles, and their emotions. It seems that each of the characters has a purpose and a life behind the war, which makes you want to see more of them.

Usually, if a WWII movie is boring, it takes my attention away completely, but this movie had me hooked from start to finish, because it's not only historically accurate, it's also incredibly entertaining. It's hard to describe this movie in words, but I urge you to watch it right away, you won't regret it.

So I didn't read any reviews before watching this movie. I could tell it was going to be a low budget movie before I started watching it, so my expectations were low to begin with. But man I was surprised just how poor this was within the first five minutes.

The costume department did and awful job with the uniforms, especially what the Italians were wearing.

The script was awful and I even feel bad referring to is as a script. Some of the acting was pretty bad and some was passable given what the actors had to work with. The story itself was the standard predictable affair and very very basic. This was just a really hard film to watch as it is beyond slow and very unengaging. I can see why other reviewers didn't finish it.

As a side note I have now read the reviews for this movie and feel that the 10 star ones are clearly positive review bombing.

Did not even make it 3 mins of this poorly executed film. Can tell there was zero input from anyone with military experience. Could of made it more realistic using military members fresh out of basic training. 10/10 WOULD NOT recommend to anyone who ever served or knows anyone who has served in the military. If you are looking for a good military movie just look anywhere else but here. I don't know who the people are who rated this 10 stars but they must not be anyone who has ever watched a military movie before and have no experience whatsoever with anything related to military. Please do not waste your time.

A good Indie Film that delivers on a lot of close up war fair and plenty of action. I enjoyed the story it takes you on, along with the location, wardrobe, props, sets and the TANK!! It's always great to see Indie films and the time/passion it takes to bring a film to life with small budgets. It is no easy task but this cast/crew pulled it off and told a story that put the viewers right in the action and drama. The best part for me is the effort to go as real as possible and not hold back on how ruthless war can be and how you can discard a life so effortlessly. Somthing people of war no nothing about this film was able to show.

Congratulations to the cast/crew for bringing the story to life.

I saw the reviews of 8.7 out of 10 and thought I was in for treat. 3 minutes in the bad cgi, lack of a technical advisor, soldier's with the wrong kit and weapons for the time frame had me turn it off and find something. Anything else to watch.

Save yourself from this movie unless someone has a gun to your head stay away. To the film makers it doesn't seem like it wouldn't have taken much to make something better out of the resources you had but here we are. As a historian and rivet counter you failed when you actually had promise. There is a rich genre of war films that got it right. Maybe you shod have screened some before you made this film.
