Product Description
June 5th, 1944... A secret mission is launched prior to the D-Day Invasion. A small elite group of American paratroopers drop behind enemy lines and land right in the lap of the German Infantry. They are outnumbered, unsupported, and racing against the clock. Their sole duty is to stay alive long enough in order to find a strategic location and set up the Top Secret Navigation Equipment needed to guide in the main airborne assault on D-Day. Failure meant the lives of thousands. This elite group of American paratroopers is a mix of renegades from different military units. They are strangers to one another, thrown together at the last minute, with no time to prepare and with two different Commanding Officers. This is a recipe for disaster. It is a violation of all the rules of warfare and only a miracle is going to make this mission work. Based on actual events. This untold story of these men, their mission and the facts behind it, has remained hidden for over 60 years

This movie has attracted a lot of attention on IMDB and Facebook where vitriol is directed at people who slate it. Lets get one thing straight, slating a bad movie is in no way a slight on the heroes who inspired this film, but this is not a good film. The cast are at best amateurish and its like watching a re-enactment group in action. According to IMDB this film has one of the biggest outdoor sets ever built in independent film history. Where? Most of the film is spent running around hedgerows in the dark with no sense of scale as to where the enemy are during the encounters. Yes this story may about a previously unreported brave mission but it is not reflected here, Speilberg where are you?

I've watched 98% of WW2 films and love them all but out of all WW2 films this has to be the worst one ever!
Faults
1. The film is set at night in the pitch black but all actors are followed by studio spot lights so you can see what is going on. (If that was the case in back in ww2 the Germans would go "Ow they are over there, see the spot light")
2. One actor spotted playing 2 different German soldiers both died.
3. The Films plot is about the Americans glidered into Germany then set up a transmitter to guide the rest of the Americans in. (That's it! They sneak around, set up a transmitter, END)

Probably the worst WW2 movie I have ever seen. Acting - like an amateur dramatic society, Camera work - just awful, Lighting - laughable.
Total garbage. Do not buy this movie, you'll be disappointed if you do.

For once, I did not consult the reveiws on Amazon before buying. All I can do now is echo the sentiments of the other 'one star' reviews. There is nothing good about this film. Read more
