Assault on Hill 400

I like war movies, not because I am a military person (on contrary, I don't like period when I served in army). This should be "Band of brothers" kind of movie, no? Not by a light year. I can forgive bad script and unrealistic dialogs. I can forgive amateur-like camera, and music like someone is turning on some classical music radio station on and off. What really bothers me is very bad acting and the fact that actors look like nobody ever saw any army nor any arms in their entire life. Their moves during the battles, kids that play Counter Strike know much better. Germans stand upright in opened space and shoot? Who does it, really? Right na ded soldiers stay behind the tree and shoot from the left side of it??? And so on, and so on. I had no stomach for this. This movie is such a waste of time and energy. Not sure about talent, didn't see much of it there. If you like war dramas, skip this one. Better watch Band Of Brothers, or "Saving..." or... simply choose any random decent war movie.

Bad acting for the most part with a weak plot. Michael Madsen and Billy Baldwin's performance is severely lacking. These actors (and I use that term loosely for this movie) need to hang it up, if you see their names in a movie, it's going to be one to avoid. The best acting came from the nurse, who has a minor part and Eric Roberts is underutilized; mainly just clicking a camera every few seconds. Some of the gear and uniforms were okay, while others are really poor quality; you can see better at a reenactment. It's apparent that there was no technical advisor and the Germans are for the most part laughable.
