7/10
Great visually. Story is a little disjointed.
2 November 2003
This film was done with the real veterans reenacting the events of the battle of Arnhem. They used the real town and the real equipment. The story was sculpted by the rememberances of the soldier/actors. If you are not familiar with the story and characters this film may seem a bit confusing. The acting is often not great -- usually when they open their mouths. Yet they certainly knew how to handle the battle scenes. This film is typical of the period as there is no blood not gore. Look for the real Panther tank. It is a good contrast to A Bridge Too Far. I recommend you read a few books on the subject before watching the film.
