    This was rather graphic but it's a true account of our WWI battle against the Germans in the Argonne Forest.

    A well-executed and acted A & E WWI film. It is worth a watch, you won't be disappointed.

    You can see many differences in how WWI and WWII were fought in this movie. Rick Schroder did a fantastic job in this movie based on a true story.

    This movie could do without the sentimental jibberish about the New York lads, but the fighting scenes are strong.

    good WW1 movie - supposedly based on a true story. though from a non USA point of view I am a little sick of the impression only the USA did anything in europe in WW1 & 2 lol. dont let that put you off though, a good war movie. some dismemberment too.

    We had to watch this movie in high school but I would watch it anyway. Its a great movie about a story I had never heard from the first world war.

    WWI movies are uncommon. A WWI movie this good is even more uncommon. A well-made rendition of the American soldier's short-lived but valiant contributions to the Great War. The production is very impressive considering this is a made-for-TV film. The acting is generally good but...( read more) I felt that the diverse ethnicities stereotype (especially the inevitable New Yorkers) and the uncaring general stereotype were a bit overdone. What really impressed me was the take on the Germans. They are shown as hard-fighting, competent, and honorable soldiers as opposed to merciless brutes, which tends to be the norm in world war films shown from the Allied perspective. A splendid war piece, overall.
