People are voting emotionally.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

There really is not much that can be said for this film apart from it is truly awful. How this has managed to get such a high rating on here is beyond me. I am seriously starting to doubt the scoring and ranking on IMDb. The acting is so wooden it is laughable, the camera work is terrible and the historical and military inaccuracies are unforgivable. I can forgive a few mistakes but this has so many it detracts from what is going on far too much. I don't know what the director did before this film but I thought at one point in the beginning it was a video for a cheesy song by Daniel O'Donnell or Val Doonican or the best of love compilation songs. I love war films and I have sat through some real rubbish ones but this may very well be the worst war film I have ever seen. Don't waste your time on this garbage.

Similar to others before me I was registering to IMDb right now to help correct the over-ratings of this title. This movie is really awful. Not one full minute is enjoyable. It has no relation to WWII, military or history. Not even to common sense. I would not say you should avoid this movie. Take as a parody! But in this category Top Secret is better...The only positive thing to mention is that the makers tried to collect historically correct equipment - and they mostly succeeded. Although utilizing the items and the reenactment personnel is just a big mess, lacking any logic.

Enough has been written about how bad the film from so many production aspects. What was bothersome was the story line with the female French teacher. Nice to look at, just did not see the need for it, especially with the hazy focus and the see through curtains. Just Strange scene, interrupted by the bad guys of course. Additionally, they never explained what drove a career officer to become a traitor? The most offensive thing was after watching movie cliché SS acts of violence the producers of the film dedicated the film to the men and women on both sides of the war??? What was that all about? Very offensive to see that at the end. It was almost like they were trying to be politically correct for a German audience.

jumping to German occupied France in broad daylight wearing leather shoes? a high ranking major was a German spy and mole in the British army? most of the fighting scenes were either one-sided or just complete messy arrangements. the french resistant hid in a big house with tunnels without an escape arrangement? and they tried to run away when they were surrounded by the German army, they ran into a mine field right next to their secret hideout, are you kidding me? when they went to the pre-arranged rendezvous in the forest at night, why it's so bright? what and where was the bright light coming from? when the German army showed up at night and started the shooting, sometimes it's pitch black but most of the time, the illumination was just so bright, sometimes it's on the left, sometimes it came from the right, and sometimes it's right behind them in the center. then a short fling with a french woman and love making right away? yeah, right, could you just give me another generous break again? 5 or 6 guys of the so-called allies almost eliminated several hundreds of gemans with tanks and plenty of fire power with machine guns....wow, this is indeed a miraculous movie. but since the allies had won the wwii, the winner could do whatever they like and made the loser German force like morons. a typical self-indulgent masturbation that only served to the winning side. the Germans, the japs, the Chinese nationalist party, they were all morons, and the winning parties could rewrite their own histories whatever they preferred.
