Nice uniforms, horrible story and film
Everyone in this movie is 40-50 years old. The movie is set in the Hurtgen forest in December 1944 but the looks more like august 1944: there are green leaves on the trees and weeds everywhere. The story is stiff and concocted. Uniforms are fairly authentic except when there seems to be a Wehrmacht soldier hanging out with SS troopers in SS camo. All these Nazis are 50 years old. Find some actors under 20 FFS already. Avoid this film at all costs.
No Bad Considering Its Low-Budget Heroics
Writer & director Justin Lee’s low-budget, loquacious, World War II epic “Alone We Fight” set against the background of the fireworks in the blood-splattered Battle of Hürtgen Forest suffers from slow-pacing and one incredibly stupid moment when our heroes neglect to blow up a light armored German vehicle in the woods. A bearded Corbin Bernsen shows up in a cameo as Colonel Bradley Armstrong and provides audiences with the basics that our heroes are up against the enemy. Afterward, he disappears. Nothing wrong with his brief appearance, but Johnny Messner is woefully wasted in a nothing role as Captain Hank Kedry who shows up near the ending as a Sherman tank commander. Meanwhile, Sergeant Gregory Falcone (Aidan Bristow of “American Mummy”), Private Michael ‘Boston’ O’Reilly (Matthew James McCarthy of “A Reckoning”), and Private Benjamin Archer (Philip Nathanael of “Hard Sun”) are all who remains of the American Rangers. When Colonel Armstrong warns them that the Germans are poised to strike the aid station, kill the wounded, and rape the two female medics, Sergeant Falcone volunteers to lead a mission into enemy-occupied terrain to blow up a fuel depot which will halt the German advance. Sadly, the low-budget stands out, with less than thirty actors and actresses. The leafy, green forest conceals most of everything, and we are never given the perspective from the enemy’s viewpoint. They are just ruthless, SS Nazis, and all they do is kill, kill, and kill. Our heroes-initially a quartet-are captured at the outset of the action, and these notorious SS troops force them to dig their own graves. One of the four refuses to comply to their murderous demands, and the surviving three turn the tables on the Germans and kill them. After this promising opening scene, director Justin Lee allows the action to slack as the survivors make it back to an aid station and recuperate and learn about the terrible prospects awaiting them and their friends if they don’t counterattack. The basic outline of Lee’s screenplay isn’t bad, but he has this awful problem of dragging things out. Although we come to sympathize with the Rangers, we know that the formulaic War Movie clichés are going to lock down the action. Literally, nothing surprising happens during this respectable, 91-minute shoot’em up. Predictably, you can guess which of the intrepid three is going to die, and then the Germans settle down to whittle the other two down. Our heroes blow up the meager fuel depot and use a light attack vehicle as cover for their depredations. Unfortunately, they neglected to disable the attack vehicle, and the Germans pursue them in it as our heroes flee for their lives. In real life, I don’t think that hardened, combat seasoned soldiers like these guys would have overlook the hazards that the light attack vehicle would present. Mind you, I struggle to keep up with these low-budget World War II movies, and I wonder if anybody advised Lee about some of the incidents in the action. However, if this movie excites you, then you should watch some episodes of the ABC-TV series “Combat” because the squad in that revered series faced similar perils on a weekly basis with greater realism. Altogether, “Alone We Fight” isn’t abysmal, or as abysmal as another recent low-budget W.W. 2 outing entitled “Wunderland” which takes place during the Battle of the Bulge. Of course, “Alone We Fight” never gives us a genuine picture of the hardships that American G.I.s confronted when their absent-minded commanders plunged them into action in the Hürtgen Forest. Performances are competent as is “A Reckoning’s” lenser Justin Janowitz’s cinematography.
