I love this movie so much

Absolutely Brilliant!

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

My husband loves World War II movies, I think they are OK. He bought this DVD under its UK title of D-Day Survivor because of the action packed cover. When he watched it he complained to me that the cover was misleading (I agree) because he felt it was lacking in the action and battles that he loves, but the kind of movie I would like.I watched it and really enjoyed it. I thought the characters were very engaging and believable. It even had moments that made me chuckle. This is not a typical war movie. I would say it's a very entertaining, intelligent drama. So if you are looking for the typical action packed, battle after battle war flick this may not be your cup of tea.

I bought this film because it was cheap (£3 on DVD) and I am glad I didn't spend more. The story line has potential but was not used to its fullest potential at all. The British weapons were wrong. It looked like they used M1 Garrands (standard US issue) rather than the Short Magazine Lee Enfield Mk4 (SMLE) and I also very doubt that a private (craftsman) in the REME would have been issued with a Tommy Gun. He would have been issued with either a Sten or SMLE.The acting was wooden and the obvious tension between Barrows and Murphy could have been made more of. The scene where the captured SS officer translates the French to the English for the squad is laughable. The actor playing Rock who is suffering from shell shock played that really well. I have seen shell shock and it does manifest itself in this way.This film claims to be based on truth. If so then they need to apologise. They claim the Johnny Barrows won the VC. There is no record of anyone of that name winning a VC ever let alone in the Normandy Campaign (I have a book that lists every VC winner. In fact the only VC won by a member of the REME was in WW1 by a Lt Graham Lyall VC on 28th September 1918). I think it is sad and insulting for that claim to be made by the producers of the film that claims to be based on real events.

Appalling. Amateur. Aggravating.I have an historical interest and basic understanding of D-Day and it's era. I was therefore genuinely amazed after checking several 'reasonable' reviews, before deciding to endure this travesty.Such a disappointing interpretation of a good WW2 story, at every level.A missed opportunity. Cringeworthy.

I you expect all the fear and wondrous suspense this kind of plot/theme could bring you, you will be largely disappointed. A journey like this could well have been an emotionally terrifying personal experience, yet it became a continuous parade of semi humorous and would be heroic encounters by a bunch of unyielding shallow characters, which left me totally unsatisfied and - after a while - starting to skip scenes. I applaud any attempt to get a movie project together - not a easy task and I must say that technically this movie has a nice continuity, but, nothing gets to me more than having to listen to well-meaning attempts at speaking a foreign language that fail miserably. At least hire real Germans and French or use native voice overs to do the job. What also sort of perplexed me was the lack of realism. In a particular scene, for example, our heroes are sharpshooting moving German targets from quite a distance - one shot - one hit... I must admit never having seen the end of the movie - I could not come up with a good excuse to stay with it.
