I thought I would watch a little bit of this series after I had finished dinner. I couldn't stop and was completely engaged and watched the series from start to finish.
The series gives you a lot of different perspectives of the battle of Normandy. Based on real interviews with veterans from both sides. The actors mimicking the lines from the real interviews do a great job and underline the grim message that comes across with such power.
This is a must if you enjoyed Saving Private Ryan or the Band of Brothers series.
The details in the stories being told are incredible, as the veterans use every sense to describe the horrors of war and the beauty of true comradery.

After having read almost every Richard Stark novel with Parker, which Mel Gibson's character is based on, I had to give this movie another shot.
I watched "Payback" 20 years ago and wasn't impressed at all, but now with all the Parker novels under my belt, I found the movie surprisingly entertaining.
Mel Gibson portrays the Parker character from the novels perfectly. A load of cool supporting actors, like Kris Kristofferson and James Coburn, make the film even more intriguing.
The movie starts off with a bang and has enough twists and action to keep you entertained throughout.
Give the movie another shot, and for God's sake don't miss out on the great Parker series novels by Richard Stark!

Steven Seagal made some semi-cool action movies in the late 80's and early 90's, but this is one is about as bad as it gets.
Sure, you can watch this if you want a good laugh. But if you like Seagal you'd be better off watching "Nico" or "Under Siege" once more instead of this garbage.
Seagal is in fact the best actor in this thing, and that says a lot. Just listen to the two, soon to be dead, guys in the opening scene, and you'll understand how bad the actors are in "Contract To Kill". In addition to that the special effects are laughable (watch the plane explosion), the dialogue awful (f**k this, f**k that) and the editing is poorly done.
Fast forward to Seagal's fighting scenes. They are still pretty fun to watch.
