I made it maybe 20 seconds into the trailer. This is a huge pass for me. I love historical war movies. Especially WW1 and WW2 but that first glimpse of a very obvious historically inaccurate rifle being aimed by one of the actors and that awful multi colored paint on his face was just too much for me. I'm not an expert or anything but that seems to defeat the purpose of camouflage. I definitely won't be seeing this travesty when it comes out.

Terrible film, although only watched 20mins of it. Acting pathetic. Opening conflict in Normandy, walking through what looks like a beautifully maintained park. They all look like they just got out the shower apart from the Native American face paint. Which makes The a great target, some of it being white. A single German sniper shoots about 8 of them. Pity it wasn't all of them. Hope it got 100 times better after that. But judging by other reviews it didn't. It's a big NO from me.

Terrible acting. High score rating is obviously from friends of the cast and crew. Absolute rubbish try another career honestly because this isn't for you.

They say to never judge a book by its cover, or in this case a film by its poster. I struggled to understand at first if this was a film based in the USA or an American family living in the U.K. as some appeared to have British accents or an American accent that at times slipped between the two. As the film went on it soon became apparent this was a film that could have been made by your local amateur dramatics society, there seemed to be a lack of faces you may have seen on either the Big or Small screen and those that did play fleeting parts seemed to be over dramatic in their 15 minutes of fame. I did try my best to get into this film but found myself asking questions, like " have those actors got really big heads? or really small helmets?" And why are all Germans wearing the same uniforms all black and not a battle field Grey in sight, officers outnumbered the ordinary infantrymen 4 to 1, I guess they could not find any German WWII helmets but at least all the Germans were wearing the same armband. I must give credit to the effects man (notice I do not use the term 'Special', this I reserve for anyone who watched the full 71 minutes). He must have spent a while sitting in a shed with a pot of jam and some fireworks as he managed to pull off some convincing bullets hitting bodies in a 5 minute period of action that nearly but not quite scratched the surface of the anticipated action promised on the poster, but alas we never got there. To sum up, a poor representation of Normandy in 1944 with it's lack of military vehicles, landscape that should have been battered by years of war, added to this the bad acting, sound, storyline and I am guessing low budget, I would not recommend this film if you are looking for the action it promises on the poster, only watch it if you have nothing else to do and I mean absolutely nothing.

The first 2 minutes of the film were good and I was expecting at least an OK time-waster. As soon as the father opens his mouth, I knew the acting was going to be bad. Did any of the actors take acting lessons? I watch the movie for about 20 minutes, which was 18 minutes too long. Watch the Dirty Dozen. Even though it is a Hollywood production and not too realistic, it has way move entertaining power.

This is one of the greatest untold stories of WWII. It was the basis for the myths that formed the fictional Dirty Dozen, but the true story is so fantastic it didn't need embellishment, artistic license, or any additional drama. The true story should be told and can stand on its own, but it really deserves better than this. This was a travesty.

This has got to be one of the worst Adaptions of a true story I have ever watched. The producers and director should have paid the extra money to have a military representative on-site. If not that, then at least someone who had a clue about firearms. Lever action rifles were never issued to American troops in Europe. Even if they had been, you can't shoot a Henry multiple time and never work the lever. It might have been a good movie had anyone associated with it had a clue about the military or World War II. As far as believable, I would put it on the same level as Howard The Duck.
