It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

I had high hopes for this movie especially I read on the cover it was "based on true events" . It was awful the worst war movie I have seen since Where Eagles Dare. Man the Germans were terrible soldiers, Vinny Jones did not a gun to take out about 20 German Soldiers, about 20 American soldiers killed over 100 German soldiers and never ran out of Ammo --so far fetched . At the end of the movie I was expecting to read about the true events but not word about this movie based on "true events" .The acting is okay but the Company of Heroes is about realistic as Die Hard movies

In these weekend I just re-watched The Thin Red Line and Platoon and then I just want to watch something else. I hoped for a surprise and I didn't check IMDb. Indeed this movie is something else. It was a big surprise for me. But a negative one. In the beginning, when I saw Tom Sizemore (Saving Private Ryan) and Neal McDonough (Band of Brothers) I really believed that it would be a excellent movie to continue those that I watched first. But is terrible. It's a fraud of a movie. If u know a little history and u like those kind of movies, don't waste time with it. If u're under 15, maybe u'll enjoy it. Too many mistakes, both historical and screen playing, lack of feeling and so on and so on. Forgive my English, but I was so disturbed and disappointed that I really wanted to write this review. I don't know if will help somebody, but it's helping me to cope with those kind of movies.

Okay look if your going to be critical about every little detail than do yourself a favor and write your own movie. If your in the mood to watch a war movie that is 100 percent historically accurate than go write your own movie. Now to the real review I liked this movie because the General theme was of men doing what is right in the face of danger even if it costs them their lives. Their used to be a time when men did that but now a days men wine on comment boards about inaccuracies in war movies lol my father served I served and his father served and I can promise you they would watch this movie in a New York second and have not one bad word to say. Now if your a critical man who hasn't served your country than I don't think this is the movie for you. Either way that's my opinion and I'm sticking to it! Cheers!

The film opens in World War II, European theatre, December of 1944, Belgium in particular. On a routine patrol, a squad loses their sniper to German sniper fire. When they return to base, they get a cake walk assignment to deliver Christmas hams to a forward operating position. The Allied forces are confident; Belgium was taken months ago.The bigger group taking the hams includes Dean Ranson, who used to be a lieutenant before his squad got wiped out in fifteen minutes. Now he's a cook. Conti is the lieutenant in charge. Nate, who killed the German sniper in the first scene, becomes Conti's new sniper. The hams and several men are soon lost to a German attack featuring mortar fire, snipers, and machine guns. Nate proves himself again.The protagonists battle on, make new allies along the way, and encounter a number of tough fights. They work with Willoughby, a British agent, and Pozarski, who claims to be a Polish prisoner of the Nazis. Of course, he's not. As the film continues, the small group takes on a mission for the OSS, which involved a Nazi 'super weapon' under development, and the rescue of one of its developers, Dr. Gruenewald.Will they be able to stop the use of the super weapon and rescue Dr. Gruewald? -----Scores-----Cinematography: 6/10 Lens flare. Was Jar Jar Abrams about? Sloppy, bumpy, jumpy shaky cam work was disruptive when it appeared. The CGI for the WWII aircraft was sometimes noticeably bad.Sound: 8/10 Nice and rich. Music was a bit florid, though.Acting: 7/10 Reasonably good. I liked Tom Sizemore's earthy work, Chad Collins' performance, and the presence of Vinnie Jones.Screenplay: 5/10 The shift from competent low-level infantry work to high-level spying in enemy territory was well over the top. The segment of getting the bomb before the Nazis use it was a bit more engaging, but not all that believable either. The cliché ending pieces (you have done us a great service, but you do not get to talk about it, plus visiting the father's grave) were well done but still clichés.
