A trailer for an upcoming WW2 movie covering a little-known action by the Canadians. May be interesting...

It's out. Watch it.

It is a Dutch movie, so a mix of German, Dutch, and English language. I thought it was pretty good. Definitely seems to be a glimpse of WWII that was glossed over.

I'm not exactly a cinephile but I thought acting was good as were special effects. If nothing else it's a story many of us are unaware of.

Yeah watched it the other day I enjoyed it :)

Not the best but I think its a great watch and anyone who likes WWII era history etc.. its a must to watch :)

I love movies that also come from other countries about WWII since the angle is a touch difference and you do not usually get that angle with American movies that try to show that angle (hope that made sense)

More NAZI stuff to keep it fresh in everyone's mind as we dive into Socialism and CRT.

I'm waiting for a good movie on how bad Japan REALLY was. Unit 731 anyone??? I know, I'll keep waiting.

I watched the movie. It was OK, not great or terrible. It reminded me of watching the second movie in a series without seeing the first.

It will come from China. They are making a lot of propaganda movies.

I was looking forward to it and viewed the film after I read up on the Battle of the Scheldt to refresh and expand my background knowledge on the action. I think it is worth a look, but overall I was disappointed. The screenwriter(s)/director aren't very good storytellers as I see it. Acting was ok, but nothing stood out. It seemed to me that most of the characters weren't well developed. Maybe I need to watch it again to see if I missed something.

Hmm, so basically a Netflix movie? :laugh:
Ah well, maybe I'll still give it a watch one day.

That's a good bottom line from my perspective.
