ETO_Buff Shortly after this film started, I thought, "It looks like a bunch of re-enactors who decided to make a movie." During the ending credits I learned that it's a bunch of re-enactors who decided to make a movie to bring attention to the efforts of the 82nd Airborne Division's Pathfinders – the troopers who dropped into Normandy on D-Day about an hour before the main airborne landings to set up navigation beacons for the C-47 troop transports carrying the main force. After all, even Steven Spielberg made some bad films when he was 12! It's a heroic effort by a re-enacting group, so being a living historian myself, I added a star to the single star that it deserves for quality. It could possibly be enjoyed for what it is, IF they explained to the viewer what it is at the beginning. They should introduce the film with a statement like, "Hey we're just a bunch of re-enactors that want to pay tribute to the Pathfinders of the Normandy invasion during WWII. We're not actors or film makers, and no one was paid for their involvement in this project." That would explain beforehand all of the overacting, why most of the camera shots are extreme close-ups on everyone's faces (showing only the area between their eyebrows and lower lip), why the Pathfinders were not being told what their mission was until the night before the drop (no time to study maps, enemy positions, objective locations, etc.), why all of the characters were argumentative and not acting like a team that had volunteered for the mission, why they referred to it as Operation Overlord instead of Mission Albany, why one officer had the Infantry insignia on both tips of his collar instead of his rank on one tip, why the pathfinders in the film were not dressed like the pathfinders that jumped into Normandy, why the bullets and explosives didn't make any marks on inanimate objects that they hit, and so many other discrepancies and problems with the film Yet, as bad as it is, it is STILL not the very worst film I have ever seen!

Jeroen Vermaat All right, this movie isn't very good.I'm pretty sure that they always said "Thunder" followed up by "Flash" as respond and not back ways. But I could be wrong.I've actually no idea what the names of the characters are so I can't really say sorry when one of them dies. The idea of the movie was good but the scripting and the lighting of the movie is just really really awful... Also, this wasn't recorded in French at all... Landscape is completely different. If the movie lasted longer than 92 mins their should've been more time to explain the story. And to introduce the characters.

Olson-becky I love historical movies. This one sounded so incredible on the promo and like the other reviewers, I wanted to like it. We rented from Red Box. Thank goodness we didn't pay theater prices. Was it even in the theaters? Worst movie we have EVER rented. Within the first 5 minutes I had lost interest completely. Actors seemed like they were reading their lines off cards, music didn't fit. The opening song was not the correct era. Before we knew it was going to be terrible, my husband commented that the song seemed too modern. We fast forwarded to see if it got better. It didn't. Red Box was kind enough to refund our money. Said we were only the 4th customer to rent it. It's not rated, but it should be - D for Don't Bother
