War > Sinatra, Frank War > T

One of the best films ever, must buy!

Advantages: Great story, amazing acting, superb film
Disadvantages: None

Ever since seeing this film i have been dying to own this film and its finally on dvd. A modern classic of a film and such a typical Tarintino film. From the opening scene this movie has you engrossed and the two and a half hours it lasts for fly past. The acting is superb from some little known actors and having only one big name like Brad Pitt sets it off brilliantly. Very rarely do you see a somewhat pro jewish war film, most are just protraying ...

Review of Inglourious Basterds (DVD)

A Classic War Film!

Advantages: Really interesting, based on a true story, exciting, good acting
Disadvantages: None

...Only Review Watching the Great Escape on Sky Anytime last night I thought I had to review it. This movie is based on a book by Paul Brickhill who actually was in the camp in March 1944! The film is therefore based on true events but there are some inaccuracies so you should not believe everything that happens in the film! The film was made in 1963 but is still on every Christmas! The Great Escape is set in World War 2 and begins with the P.O.W ...
...high security. The idea is to have "all the rotten eggs in one basket" so they can all be kept inside this one impossible to escape camp! You see the prisoners of war in the camp and follow their escape plan. They want to be as much nuisance to the Germans as possible wasting their time, money and men! There plan is to get over 250 men out of the camp out of tunnels. You get to see how they manage to dig the tunnels, trick guards, get various things ...

Review of The Great Escape (DVD)

Trapped behind enemy lines. All they have is their hope

Advantages: Good Length, Excellent Photography, Good Characters
Disadvantages: None

Saints and Soldiers is Ryan Little's war film based around the Malmedy Massacre of World War 2 in 1944 during The Battle of the Bulge. This is an American film with a small budget made in 2003 and released in 2005. There are a few recognizable faces in the film but no-one A-list - which I think is an endearing quality in a film. Many people missed the release of this film because of it's small budget and I don't think it was advertised expansively. ...
...first thing to note about Saints and Soldiers is that it is not a hollywood epic; like 'Saving Private Ryan' or 'Black Hawk Down'. This is a low budget film which focuses on moralities and the hardships of life at war, not a display of barbaric and high octane violence. If you are looking for an action film, this is not for you. The Storyline follows a small group of soldiers who have been scattered after surviving The Malmedy Massacre and their ...

Review of Saints And Soldiers (DVD)

It's like the film was made from the actual war

Advantages: Storyline, special effects, characters
Disadvantages: None

...story of the 'Fighting Sullivans', Saving Private Ryan is a fantastic masterpiece which imploys heroism, humanity and integrity into it. I was filled with awe and inspiration after watching this film and made me want to go upto every veteran of World War 2 and shake his hand for my utter most respect for what they have gone through. This film will be the closest thing to experiencing what these men went through throughout that time as possible. Directed ...

Review of Saving Private Ryan (DVD)

The Hurt Locker - Best This Year

Advantages: The film holds your attention from start to finish
Disadvantages: None

...totally enthralling film is without the best I've seen this year. The story of the unsung heroes of bomb disposal operatives in Iraq is a million miles removed from the usual U S of A 'gung ho' movies. As we follow the the work of one particular team it soon becomes apparent that we are watching a re-enactment of what must sadly be an everyday task for the military in this desperate theatre of war. With no real storyline to speak of the film still ...
...With its realistic approach to the unenviable job of locating and diffusing or destroying roadside bombs and booby traps, we are drawn into this dangerous world with all its horrors. A largely unknown cast makes the film more of a documentary than a piece of entertainment. It's believable from start to finish and by deserves to be recognised as a first rate piece of cinema. ...
