i agree with the shill comment. here is a comment from netflix.com. pretty sad when the film makers relatives have to come out and try to defend the flick.
"For all of you armchair movie critics, I have this to say to you... The man this movie is about is my father. The person who served as an advisor on the film regarding authenticity for period military costuming and what some of you referred to as "toy tanks" has served in that capacity on many big name, well known major motion pictures. Details were thoroughly searched and researched over and over. They used actual WWII tanks in this movie....model tanks? What a laughable, foolish comment. As for the helmet comment¿you don¿t know what you¿re talking about, although you think you do. This film won first place at the prestigious GI Film Festival and that is no mean feat. Some of these scathing reviews seem to be less about actually disliking the film than attempting to see just how ugly, mean and nasty some of you can be - there's a real person behind this story, still alive and still worthy of the respect he deserves because he fought for YOUR freedom and nearly died as a result. "Untramatic"? First, please learn to spell and secondly, by virtue of that comment we know that you probably don't know the first thing about the atrocities of war and what soldiers endured during the world wars or you wouldn't make such an asinine, inappropriate statement in the first place. I'm sorry some of you felt this film was beneath your lofty standards. Such contemptuous comments however, make a bigger statement about the individuals posting them than they do about the film itself. They clearly show an inability to understand and appreciate the sacrifices my father and thousands of other just like him made on your behalf. Debra Smith-Mosley"
