Saints and Soldiers (DVD)

Saints and Soldiers tries to show an intelligent and different side to war, far removed from the typical Gung Ho approach by some studios. The story is loosely based on an incident in World War 2 where the German Army, spearheaded by Panzers, broke through the American lines in the Ardennes. (The film 'Battle of the Bulge' portrays the fighting) During the retreat many Americans were captured and some were lined up and shot - a few Americans escaped during the confusion and this film tells the tale of a group of Americans trying to get back to their lines. Generally the film well acted, apart from an American actor, trying to play the part of an RAF pilot who was shotdown and joins the group - his upper-crust accent is woeful! There are a few turns and twists on the way and the film does work in a perhaps long drawn-out manner. Worth watching. Ken SmithVollständige Rezension lesen...

Saints & Soldiers WWII -1944 Belgium's Ardennes Forest

This film was made and released after Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers so I hoped it would be similar. In fact it was awesome.

It is set in Dec 1944 and details the US Prisoners (POW's) battle for survial after the Germam army's counter offensive in the Ardennes Forest, in Belgium.

Many Allied soldiers are captured during the counter offensive and a small band of American soldiers manage to escape. However they no longer have any weapons or food, ravaged by the cold, the men are determined to make it back to their own frontline. But as their perilous journey takes its toll, loyalties become divided and lives hang in the balance.

A mesmerising, hallucinatory journey thorough the hellish landscape of war ravaged Europe,based on real life events this film tells the story of ordinary men and the mission that made them heroes.

The film is 86 mins

A must see war film.Vollständige Rezension lesen...

GOOD Saints And Soldiers (DVD)

Movies like this dont come along very often, the fact that the movie was based on a true story made me want to see it more. The story of a group of American GI'S who are rounded up and are about to be executed in cold blood, then a struggle occurs with many of the captives fleeing through the forests, a group of young GI'S form together to find a way back to their respective armies.

The film however is somewhat tinted from the very start as the film starts out in the present then goes back three weeks, we know that one of the characters dies in the film as his body is found in the snow leaving for a predictable end.

made with hardly any Money BUT A REAL FANTASTIC FILM

SAVING PRIVATE RYAN WAS MADE WITH STUPID AMOUNTS OF MONEY, BUT THIS FILM WAS MADE ON A SHOE STRING, HARDLEY ANY MONEY, UNIFORMS WERE AQUIRED THROUGH SECOND HAND UNIFORM DEALERS ETC, and the end result is this film is superb, take a moment to imagine what did and could of happened to captured soldiers, how many of our men were captured and tortured to fight for there country, WAR IS ONLY GLAMOROUS TO THOSE WHO WERENT THERE, true but i love war films :)Vollständige Rezension lesen...

saints and soldiers

what a great film definately in the mould of saving private ryan but without the epic war scenes.This film concentrates on the human side of war with the odd bit of fighting thrown in.Follow a small band of american soldiers as they make there way to saftey through the forest of ardennes with the english pilot who has information that could save thousands of allied soldiers.A truly brilliant film worthy and deserving of the 13 international awards.Vollständige Rezension lesen...
