Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

To me, this movie is perfection.

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Another reviewer stated that this is more of an adolescent way of displaying war. And I would agree that this in no way can hold its own against the heavyweights of war movies. But if you look at it for what it is (entertainment, low budget), it does fulfill its purpose overall in doing what is sets out to do.Germans are bad, Brits are great and other "obvious" things like that are on display here. But it's the theme and the easy way out. Also while based on real war, this is still a movie. I didn't think I would watch a history documentary and no one else should feel or think that way. If you can wrap your head around that, the movie is pretty decent

Writer & director Dominic Burns and co-scenarist Jeremy Sheldon must have watched director Brian G. Hutton's "Where Eagles Dare" (1968) when they scripted their secret mission World War II movie "Allies." Although the Burns & Sheldon screenplay, with "Riot" scribe James Crow receiving story credit, bears a great deal of resemblance to the Alistair MacLean penned "Where Eagles Dare, "Allies" isn't a comparable tour-de-force thriller. Nevertheless, this low-budget wartime actioneer delivers the goods in spades when a lone American officer commanding of group of seasoned British commandos plunge behind enemy lines on the eve of the Battle of the Bulge to create havoc. Like "Where Eagles Dare," a saboteur lurks in the wings while our guys set out to relieve a German officer of his map pouch so they can find out where the big guns are station. Happily, the British aren't too taken with an American leading them, but Brigadier General Groves (Steve Hartley of "Split Second") points out to the reluctant English that Americans concocted the plan. Unfortunately, the U.S. Rangers are otherwise preoccupied with other critical concerns, so the best resource turns out to be the British. Initially, the British encounter difficulties getting along with their leader, Captain Gabriel Jackson (Julian Ovenden of "The Forsyte Saga"), but they manage to resolve their differences. They find themselves up to their ears in Germans, and sometimes the Germans get the upper hand. Burns paints his heroes into a corner and springs several surprises, particularly with regard to the saboteur. The chief debit of "Allies" is that the objective that they seek is just maps, but the enemy does pose a genuine threat. The two guys who have little use for each other, Jackson and Sergeant Harry McBain (Chris Reilly of "Game of Thrones"), resolve their differences under gunfire. Burns stages several decent action scenes, and the cast is sturdy enough. "Allies" ranks as an above-average World War II actioneer in a budget.

I watched ten minutes of this movie then had to leave it.The opening battle was implausible. As another reviewer noted there were groups standing and firing at each other - like a civil war movie more than a WWII one. Senior officer commanding a Platoon level action while wearing his gorget patches in the field. Refers to his subordinate leaders as Company Captains. British troops had Company Commanders who were Majors. US command companies with Captains.Then onto a briefing about the coming mission. The SGT comes to attention like a kid would if playing at soldiers. Servicemen will understand what I mean. Briefing was light on detail and delivered by a senior officer who sounded like a voice over man. Then the British soldiers all salute like recruits with no head dress on.I figured it wasn't going up hill from here so I decided to spend my time on something that didn't make me want to shout at the TV.Might sound picky but these were glaring issue that set the scene for for a poor movie.I love low budget films and will happily make allowances for realism flaws. But the flaws in this weren't due to cost except maybe the fee for an adviser.

I find myself being burned quite frequently these days by the review scores on IMDb. I guess it is a testament to the sites popularity that efforts are obviously made these days to drive up scores.Personally when I see an above average score I double check on rotten tomatoes, where Allies doesn't even have a score - IE it's gone completely unnoticed into the world.Anyhoo, I won't waste your time with the plot which has been covered in other reviews. Nor will I dwell on the diabolical script / camera work etc.I'm a WW2 buff so gave this a punt, but much as I love the genre I do require a bit of realism from battle scenes and I got none of that here.For example, British para's - I was one - do NOT wear red berets in combat (for reasons I'd hope would be obvious). The soldiers in the film did, whilst they stood around in bunched groups trading pot shots with the Germans. The para who poked his up over the grass verge to take a quick peek wearing what was effectively a red lantern on his head deserved what happened, sniped of all things by a machine gunner.Whilst still under fire squaddies do not take a break to run back to a fallen comrade and squat by him - in the open - to bemoan the tragedies of war.Give this one a miss.
