Not a great WW2 film/Combat TV series

Everyone has an opinion; mine is this was disappointing. In the action sequences, soldiers would routinely fall without being shot, each screaming, " Ah!" That said, the gut wound/death scene was strong. I like McQueen in an action role but in this film he was nothing special. His final act of heroism had no feeling of redemption to it, no spark of selfless humanity. I did like his scene with the female barkeeper when he spoke to her in German. I too, saw and felt the similarities with the great "Combat" TV series. I own all the DVDs of this show. "Hills are for Heroes" is one of their best. With "Combat" though, you cared about Hanley's men and understood their characters. Reese did not have an ounce of compassion for his men, unlike Saunders. Comedy consisted of Kirby's one-liners, not a stand-up routine.
