Here is my take on this WWII film set in April 1945 in Germany. Went to see it Friday, the opening day for the film. As far as realism there are 4 Easy eight Shermans used along
with Tiger 131 from the Bovington tank museum. Weapons, uniforms, were all correct. Has been a while since a movie used a real Tiger in the production of a film.
The Shermans also looked well done also. The battle scenes were gritty and action packed with plenty of them. The tank battle between the Easy Eights and the Tiger
was both authentic in execution and exciting to watch. Given that this movie runs 2 Hrs 15 Min I felt pulled into the film from start to finish.
Would I recommend this movie...............The answer is YES ! Will I buy it when it comes out on DVD................ YES !
Don't want to get into the film itself as to ruin it for others but I would give it a solid 8 out of 10 for this movie, if not more. Well worth seeing........IMO
