Review of The Frozen Front

With a storyline that owes more than a little to "The Big Red One" this is predictable and, to be honest, boring. The direction is amateurish and the overuse of a single hand-held camera detracts from whatever is happening as well as giving the movie the feeling of being incredibly low budget. The action/battle sequences suggest that the director had absolutely no idea of how men react in battle and (again the mini-budget?) there was no advisor to tell him, but (just to stress one point out of very many) it shouldn't take a genius to figure out that men tend to go for cover when someone is trying to kill them. All in all a terrible movie which fails on every level and in which you don't even care about the protagonists. (PS I saw the French Language version with subtitles, which often read as absolute gibberish!)
