oh dear
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.

Awful….. time to be quiet
The only reason this film clearly has such a high rating is because the cast and crew have all rated it. The glowing reviews this film received have been from the same critic who reviews every film by this director so it’s either his brother or best friend.

Advice AVOID AVOID AVOID.

Its films like this with poor script, pathetic directing, awful acting (what do you expect when you get a washed up pop star to try and help sell a few extra copies) and terrible production value makes me weep for the future of British cinema.

There’ aren’t any spoilers in this review because hopefully you won’t watch it…. in fact the biggest spoiler is when you play it on your DVD player.

If the producers put as much effort into making the film as they did to shouting about it on social media then maybe it would have been half decent.

The only reason I hope more people see it is so the rating becomes more accurate. But if you can, watch it on a torrent site… yes that’s illegal but being made to pay for this is a bigger crime.

At times it felt like this was the first ever time the cats and crew had ever worked on a film. The plot was so badly executed that I barely cared what was happening.

I wish there were more British productions like this, made on small budgets but aimed at a British audience. In fact the executive should be applauded for trying for the producer and director should be put up against the wall for their contribution.

Next time you see a film directed by this Dominic Burns….. run away…

Urgh!
