this movie have the make for tv stink all over it . though and it start out with great intention and feature great look set and authentic prop and costume . the film quickly degenerate into horrible on the nose cheesy dialogue and and rush tv sappy melodramatic acting . the character be so sappy that at time i think that they be about to degenerate into a bilious puddle of goo and and the action be so convoluted and poorly cut that it look a it the soldier be merely stand around and take turn shoot at one another . the german be so unrealistically depict that it be painful to watch . the only thing that the german officer talk about be how wonderful the american be . please take my word for this . i be a huge fan of the war genre and and this movie be crap . nevertheless and this dvd do have an excellent extra feature and cover letter from the wwi front line and thus make this rental not a total waste of my time .
