There is no doubt this is a very good movie. I will say something about the movie that may give something away about it, so don't read past here until you see the movie. I thought the movie there would be more fighting shown. We don't see even 1 German soldier in the film! some shooting from snipers, a downed German pilot and that was it. Most of the movie shows the young man going across the countryside , and eventually at night. Big fires all around a few people come after him and he falls into a river and is carried almost to where he needs to be. He walks up to them and knows they are who is looking for. The trenches you see and the soldiers are so real and you see a little action, but then the movie is over. So this is NOT a movie about COMBAT. Not at all. if you watch it thinking this is what you will see, you will be sadly disappointed. But otherwise the point of the movie is showing the effort that is made to stop this attack. The filming was excellent. The actors were excellent. I just wished to see some combat.
