Please don't spend money on this.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

I am a big fan of war movies but this one is a complete waste of time. Even though I saw how bad of a review it got, I checked it out anyway to see if it lived up to the poor rating. Needless to say, it did. The acting was horrible. There was a scene where a German soldier slaps a guy and it was so fake, it was almost in slow motion. I understand this was a low budget film but that's no excuse. There are many films that were low budget that became successful like Rocky, Juno, Slumdog Millionaire, The Blair Witch Project, Bruce Lee's "Enter The Dragon", and Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. This film makes no effort at keeping viewers on the edge of their seats. Rather, it makes them fall asleep in their chair.

I read the reviews after hiring this movie and decided not to even bother watching it. However I was doing some other work on my PC and put the movie on. I was surprised to find the movie to be interesting with a good story and the character of the German Captain especially was interesting and well acted. The story of the dangers of the Russians - Soviet Union - to the world is a story that needs to be told and retold. There were some poor special effects at times including trees not showing bullet damage when being shot at but ignore the minor errors caused by low budget movies relying on CGI effects and missing some of the realism but concentrate on the story and characters which are quite decent. This movie is not a dud at all and is an above average movie. I think that most viewers, both male and female, can enjoy an interesting story about a group of different characters coming together to escape from evil and to tell the truth about what a totalitarian society was doing. The movie showed both the Nazis and the Russians to be evil - a very real truth that was ignored by Western Governments at the time. I have now added this movie to my 7,500 movie collection and given it 4 stars out of 5..

To the people who made this movie-you might want to find real work. You did a terrible job. While I love East Front movies, few though there are, I couldn't believe how completely awful this one was. As a historian, Soviet collector, Red Army Reenactor, and veteran, I can not believe how awful this movie was. You should all be horsewhipped!The battle scene shortly after the opening was AWFUL! If you're going to make a movie, do the research! The German firing the MG34 with no ammo in it at 2.57 minutes was a great flop. It only got worse from there. Having fired a weapon or two in my day, it's not hard to see when someone is playing pretend.You might want to talk to someone with some infantry experience to figure out what happens in an infantry assault or how armor should have infantry support. And you might not want your light vehicles advancing right into the line of fire. Nice work securing a Kettenkrad bike, though! You had some great vehicles to show, it's just a shame you didn't know how to use them. And you don't move mortars forward right into the line of fire, either. In fact, you might want to go to a firing range some time and learn how firearms actually work. You might be surprised! By the way, next time you want to make a military movie, try having someone who can tell you what uniforms and insignia should look like! Seeing the fouled up Soviet uniforms, like that tool with the beard wearing a Guards Badge upside down was unforgivable. The symbol of a unit that fought with honor and distinction hanging upside down is silly. You're really insulting the Russian Vets with ham-handed nonsense like that. (FYI-in the field, we put a layer of leather or cardboard on the post to hold them in place.) The beard is totally inappropriate, too, especially if the guy is supposed to be an officer.By the way, you don't attack a T34 with small arms. Had you done research, you might have viewed the Heer training film, Men Against Tanks, which teaches circa-1943 anti-armor tactics. Grenades, mines, fire bombs, magnetic mines, not rifles and machine pistols. Since the video is freely available online and in many afficionadoes' libraries, I can only chalk this up to your utter lack of effort. Then again, it's obvious you couldn't even secure actual weapons, since the muzzle blasts were obviously CG'd in and there was no brass flying.If you want to do it right, contact the living history community. There are many, many reenactors who could stage your battles better and would only cost you some praise, food, and maybe some beer. We have our own vehicles, do our homework, provide our own weapons and ammo, and we do this for fun. Take a look at www.reenactorpost.com for an idea of what we do. Your production could have looked half-way decent for little cost.And do what a prior poster said-don't try to make up your own story. Mine a true story. It's easier and much, much more interesting. The war on the Eastern Front is full of incredible tales of heroism on both sides. You could have told one of the great stories of mankind's struggles, but instead you gave us crap.For the other viewers-it is a well-known historical fact that both sides stole each others' weapons. Germans found the ppsh more reliable and easier to use than their weapons, while Russians found the Germans better equipped. Both sides also used each others' weapons for going behind enemy lines. Finally, the film is supposed to be set in 1945 when the Germans are collapsing while the Soviets have captured millions of soldiers and their equipment. Also, there is nothing wrong with a German referring to a panzer. It is German for tank. "Tank" is purely a British invention; in WWI they used it as a codename for the new armored track layers with which they were planning to surprise the Germans.Again, I can not express the depths of my disrespect and disgust for the clowns who made this horrible, awful movie. You have absolutely no talent and I think you owe us all an apology for this steaming pile of crap. Thankfully, the magic of the interweb means we don't have to pay these fools money. Bit torrent this crap, then delete it. Your hard drive space is worth more empty!

I would say this is the absolute WORST movie I have ever seen, except that I couldn't stand to finish it...I quit watching after 53 minutes. The plot is all disjointed, the actors are TERRIBLE (with the slightly possible exception of the main German character, I would be shocked if his career isn't ruined by this dud), the dialog is horrendous, etc...etc...I think the most laughable part of all is when one of the soldiers says "My English isn't so good" (even though he speaks his entire dialog in the movie in English). DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY ON THIS "MOVIE"...it is dreadful. The next night, I rented "Valkyrie" and while I was skeptical going in, I came out with the opinion that THAT movie is awesome.
