Yeah it is not really well known, it was prod by HBO for HBO so ...it is def main cinema quality not sure why it was not released on the big screen. The cinematography is amazing, you really feel like you are walking thru the forest w/the guys

The scene where they step off into the forest in a long line then the 88's up ahead open up on them is about the most horrifying scene I have ever watched in a war movie.

Great movie. Shows how truly screwed you were if you came through a reple deple and straight into a line company.

Great movie, needed more budget and better costuming.

I thought the costuming was excellent!

The original guys had the proper "bloody bucket" from the 28th ID on their helmets but the replacements from the repple depple did not, just as an example.

I challenge you to give me an example of poor costume in that movie!

Two that stand out for me is the farby "chrome" helmet liner buckle on one character's helmet.... and the total lack of field jackets and equipment on many of the "extras" in the backround.  


And yes..... a powerful movie.  My dad was a vet of the 28th.

ROLL ON 28TH!!!

I saw it a long time ago, and then saw the DVD and snatched it up.  Great movie, horrible battle, and basically set up the 28th to get rolled over when they went to the Ardennes for refit in Dec of 44.  And the response to ROLL ON is MEN OF IRON!

I agree. Where did the guy with the Thompson carry his mags, for instance? He wasn't wearing any mag carriers I could see and they wouldn't fit in his jacket.

Very good movie.  I caught it back when it came out on cable.  i bought the DVD real quick.  If you liked that movie, you'd probably like Saints and Soldiers as well.
