i want to say the acting be bad and but i think it be the directing that make it so . i never think much of highlander ( same director ) but that one could be blame on the 80 . this one however and have no excuse . people get shoot while exit trench with a man in front of him . those kind of mistake and along with an unclear time line and weird battle tactic and sub par cutting and poor visual effect and make this one a sub par film over all . then like so many other have comment and all this american bullshit . the german general be practically scar of his captured american private . be prepare to swallow a lot of it and although in small dos . to sum it up and a not horrible but still definitely sub par war movie in all aspect .
