| Movie NationRoger MooreThe cast is sharp, fleshing out character “types” into flesh-and-blood people we recognize. Blom’s haunted, guilty gaze sticks with you, every hand-to-hand fight has desperation and every death has weight and meaning. |
| User ReviewDogeGamer2015Es excelente; Netflix debería de producir más contenido de calidad; la trama es muy buena, las escenas de acción son excelentes y la música es épica. |
| User ReviewbruviloThe film seemed very good to me, but because it shows us the perspective of different characters, some of whom have the goal of freedom and others of surviving the great war, the scenery is incredible both on the ground and in the air, most of the environments are gloomy and the action is good both land and air, there were times when I got nervous about dangerous situations for the characters and other times when violence makes you feel bad or uncomfortable, whether the scene only lasts 20 seconds and the drama is interesting, the clothing of both civilians and infantry are good for me a netflix movie not bad or perfect but I liked it. |
| User ReviewjjjjoshAs harrowing as i imagine it should be. Well made and worth watching. Would recommend for people who like realistic war films. |
| User ReviewJLuis_001Much better than I expected and it is always nice to receive such pleasant surprises, especially on a subject as exploited as WWII. It does not propose or present anything innovative within the genre, but what works I liked, and it's engaging story within the saturated genre. |
| User ReviewMauro_Lanari(Mauro Lanari) With a FMJ Kubrick gave us material to think about for decades. With Netflix a bridge and a battle of the WWII entertain customers until the zapping on the next streaming. |
| User ReviewKludd4EverJudging by the Netflix's premise it sounded like a really interesting movie, saddly it wasn't. The two male leads are fine but really hate Teuntje. Also it's 2021 can we please stop going "Boo Germany thery're the worst and Yay the Alliance they are the best" Logic. We all know that both sides did terrible things so stop **** potraying Allied forces as knjights in shinning armor. |
