ProduktrezensionenThe Lost Battalion (DVD, 2001)

Stand your ground against the Huns.

Wonderful movie. My previous one got scratched, so I bought this one. Great acting. The role of using pigeons as messengers was well done, except for one error as a pigeon fancier. Homing pigeons from England would fly back to England...not to another place....i.e. headquarters of the Army in France. Just a small technical issue. But otherwise, very engaging movie with great character development and acting. Vollständige Rezension lesen...

Lost Battalion

Excellent movie. Some of the worst camera work I have ever seen. I felt I was trying to backup because the camera was so close to the actors. It was really apparent during the action sequences.
American involvement in WWI was short (9 months) and to think that 3 Medals of Honor came from this one short engagement reflects such great honor on the American Army, it chokes me up with pride.
Ricky Schroder was absolutely excellent. The leadership his character showed was mind blowing. His statement to General Alexander, that the General would not see him or is men alive again and then press the battle as hard as he did was great. How many people would lead men in to a battle like he did thinking it was a suicide mission.
The Texan Lt. that was captured, telling the German Officer that his men were New York Gangsters and would never surrender, was priceless. I loved it.

I had seen parts of the movie on TV before I bought it and wanted to see the whole thing. A very good buy.Vollständige Rezension lesen...

Awesome movie. Lots of action. Ricky Schroder was great.

Great movie. Ricky Schroder did a great job in his role. Weren;t an well know actors in it but they were all great in their roles too. Based on a true story after watching it you wonder how they survived. But they all hung together and fought till the end.Vollständige Rezension lesen...

The Lost Battalion

The Lost Battalion starring Rick Schroder is one of the finest WWI movies I've ever seen. Schroder played a great role in Lonesome Dove, but Schroder's role in The Lost Battalion is the finest in my opinion. Schroder is a fantastic actor!Vollständige Rezension lesen...

The Lost Battalion

This is a GREAT World War 1 movie. Lots of action that takes place in the
trenches and in the attack on the Argonne Forest in late 1918. There are
really no dull moments here. All of the movie is basically composed of the
American attack to gain a stratigic point in the Forest and the German attempts
to dislodge the battalion after it succeeds. The battalion accomplishes its
mission but is left by itself as the rest of the Division falls back in retreat. Rick Schroader is GREAT as Major Whittlesea, the commander of the
battalion and is supported by several other good performances on both the
American side and German, as it also gives the insight into the German Commands
committment to drive the American force from the center of the German line.
Really a nicely photographed movie-orginally shown on the A & E network. Well
worth the full price you would pay in a Video store-and if you get it on ebay
for less-certainly worth the price. Recommended for War Movie lovers especially.Vollständige Rezension lesen...

Story from a war quickly being forgotten

Everyone knows about Private Ryan, and other classic World War 2 movies....but this is a World War I story. Extremely moving, and VERY sad...as wars always are.
Rick Schroder gives an outstanding performance in the role of the man in charge....caught in between the enemy and the red tape of his own Army....while trying to inspire and encourage the men under his command.
Based on a true story....and a real man.Vollständige Rezension lesen...

The Battalion was lost but Your Time will Not be!

Well worth watching. Very tough little movie - not gore for the shock value, but very intense. Rick Shroder is excellent as is the entire cast. It gets you, realizing that real fathers, sons and brothers were in those places and had to do those things to one another. This movie shows the courage and will, but it does not minimize the suffering or glorify the killing. I have gotten extremely selective about how many disks I own; this one makes the cut.Vollständige Rezension lesen...

Great movie. History buffs willlove it!

An extremely week done movie of an actual event. The equipment, uniforms and speech patterns were historically correct. I’ve been fascinated by this tale since early high school in the 50s. Glad to see justice done to the event.Vollständige Rezension lesen...
