Leave your thoughts about When Trumpets Fade.
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThis is a gritty, workmanlike WW11, HBO made for TV movie... |
| User ReviewJayme SVery good overall. Needs work on special effects. |
| User ReviewKen bWhat an excellent movie, well produced and acted. For me, Zac Orth, who plays a rookie combatant named Sanderson, is the best actor. He makes you feel Sandersons fear when, knowing that he will be almost certainly mowed down by Germans, he runs rampage with a flame thrower amongst them, screaming with false bravado. Many soldiers become heroes out of desperation and fear and the film portrays this fact very well. I regard this as one the best ever war movies. Spiderman fans should not watch this as there is too much reality. |
| User Reviewpaul rIf you like war movies this is superb. It is well acted and realistically done with a compelling story. The cast is well chosen also. I am fussy about my WW2 movies, but this is one of the best around. |
| User ReviewJim DBASED ON A TRUE STORY, this powerful war movie depicts some painful battle scenes as the US invaded Germany proper in World War II. |
| User ReviewHoward HO like reality film and the truth about hard choices. Even if I cannot justify the behavior of the lead character I can empathize, because I have seen it before. Especially good if you can forget about the production politics and just watch the story unfold. |
| User ReviewAlan LI saw this on HBO when it 1st came on the TV back in the 90's . Was happy to see that it is now on DVD and is now added to my collection. |
| User ReviewMichael LIf your a WW2 buff like I am...this movie is a must see...HBO never let me down. Well done on another fine movie...its up there with Band of Brothers, Private Ryan and Saints and Soldiers. |
| User ReviewDouglas Cmy favorite war film, war isnt honor war is duty and duty sux |
| User ReviewJonathan RVery good overall. Needs work on special effects. |
