Such a frustrating disappointment

Simply A Masterpiece

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

07/13/2018 Poor dialog from below average actors. Zero excitement, zero suspense, lackluster storyline. Brand new tanks (no dirt/no wear/zero battle scars), as well the trucks, the uniforms, helmets, weapons etc. No unshaved faces, no beards, forever clean clothes. As war movies go, this is a complete FAIL. I do NOT recommend that you waste 2 hours of your life/movie watching time on this film. Bon Appetit

If you come into Saints and Soldiers: The Void and watch it for what it is, overall you will be pleased.(1)The Plot/Dialogue: From beginning to end, the story definitely has direction, as you'd be pressed to find a scene where the narrative feels like it has stalled or is not moving along. Character development is somewhat lacking at the start, but towards the end I feel that Little does a decent job of filling holes. Ben Urie as Lt. Goss and K. Danor Gerald as Jesse Owens do commendable jobs and perform their roles at very respectable levels. Where lines and script may have been cheesy or written poorly, the superb acting of these two cast members definitely cover it up. In total, there are many parts where there could have been extra speech, or could have been rewritten, but nothing too bad that would deter you from watching the film. The "whole concept" from start to finish was nicely done.(2)Scenery/Setting: As always, Little does a magnificent job at taking the low budget and what little he has to work with and turning in a masterpiece backdrop. Everything from the prop guns, to the tanks, to the uniforms were period-correct and had a real, authentic look and feel. In my opinion, the explosions and special effects may not rival those on the big screen, but they were never anywhere close to looking fake. The blue/gray tint from editing really gives an old war-time look, which also adds to the realism. The only knock I have is some of the props would have benefited from a little dirt, as sometimes they looked to new and not battle-torn, but nonetheless impressive.Final Thought:Ryan Little has proved once again that he deserves a shot to direct a bigger budget film, albeit with a better script writer, and more well-paid actors. The scenery was outstanding and the special effects were done very well for the budget. If only there were deeper-voiced actors that seemed more battle-tested and a better dialogue for the script, I may have given this movie a 10/10. Not a game-changer, but a credible war movie that does not dishonor the genre.

This franchise seems to get worse and worse with each film. What was "The Void" about? In the past all the other Saints and Soldiers seemed to have a Christian based theme, this was just... Random. The actors I thought were interesting, the scripts and the acting had, lets say, A LOT OF ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT. Barely made it through the movie, hoping some redeeming factor could be found, but just like the whole movie, it continued to disappoint, in every regard. I expect more from Ryan Little and Producer Adam Abel, but everyone has a bad day right...or in this case a bad movie.To clarify, this movie does have some wholesome values, not to give any spoilers away, but an important theme is touched upon, but not enough to qualify it like the first Saints and Soldiers installment did. Would love to see Jasen Wade back... if another one is up and coming.

I can't remember to have seen a bad WW2 Movie, bad sadly that changed with this Movie.This isn't much about the low Budget, which iam OK with, it's the Dialogs and the very bad Acting.Specially the racial Disputes don't seem Real. You simply don't believe the Actors their racial hate and disregard. Its actually so bad that the hole topic is in great danger to become a laughing-stock and thats a shame.But at the end the hole story looks like that. Nothing makes really sense or fit together, you simply don't believe anyone of them and their behavior is simply unrealistic.Also the German translations are often definitely off (mostly not much but still).So no neither the script or the acting works out here. Low Budget or not how hard can it be to write some believable lines, cmon guys who write this piece of processed Food ? I still give that Movie 3 Stars because its trying and I've seen worse so i know i can get worse and i need abit room to the bottom.
