Critic Reviews
-
Richard T. Jameson, Parallax View
To make an uninvolving movie out of one of the most decisive battles of the Second World War may seem a dubious challenge, but there's no denying Universal their full credit in meeting it.
-
James Sanford, Kalamazoo Gazette
Rather dull, although certainly elaborate enough
-
Dan Fazio, Citysearch
Charlton Heston at his restrained yet forceful best.
-
Brian Mckay, eFilmCritic.com
has the decency to devote the majority of the film to the actual events, and not get bogged down in a fictitious, smarmy love affair.
-
Scott Weinberg, Apollo Guide
If the movie drags a bit in the dramatics department, that's probably because the filmmakers were shooting for 'accuracy' over 'emotion'.
