WWII, a ragtag bunch of Americans have to fight the German soldiers, completing various missions that give us a chance to get to know them a little and see the devastation war causes both physically and psychologically. It all culminates in a final stand off with impossible odds of survival. It has themes of honour, bravery and human compassion. I feel like I've seen it a thousand times before. But this one is in a tank so that makes all the difference.

David Ayer is a legitimate film maker now guys. This film is nothing like all his other films about a ragtag bunch of cops that have to fight drug lords, completing various missions that give us a chance to get to know them a little and see the devastation the job causes both physically and psychologically, culminating in a final stand off etc. etc.

No this film is legitimate because it's a period piece and it's historical and the actors in it all speak with thick accents so they are all real proper actors.

Sarcasm aside, there's a lot of good stuff in the film. It's certainly slickly produced and the action is impressive. As is the gore. David Ayer really likes to make gritty films with a lot of violence groups of characters covered in dirt and sweat, swearing their tits off and acting macho. This is no different. The story is pretty standard but hey, if it ain't broke...

It's effective, and I think others might get more out of this than I did. I might just be to cynical. I did like a lot of it. I wanted to like it more though.
