One worries though how the much hyped casting of Tom Sizemore may go down since it's sixteen years since he appeared in SAVING PRIVATE RYAN and one envisages him being more likely cast as the American equivalent of a character from DADS ARMYrather than a veteran combat soldier still able to kill Nazis. This is a film that tries to market itself as Alasitar McLean meets Quintann Tarantino meets BAND OF BROTHERS. If you REALLY need something to soothe your craving for some violence or a 21st Century politically correct WW II movie, this will fit the bill quite well. Let's just say that by the time the whole mess had happened, we have managed to run into a Russian who speaks excellent English and a British bar brawler who both save the day in their own way. Well, you may think that's all trivial but that's just immediately ended the suspension of disbelief for me. She wouldn't go into a Nazi base in tight fitting slacks. That may sound trivial but the Feuhrer forbade women to wear pants. It may sound trivial, but the babe spends half the movie in pants. Their historical sins were not limited to the American unit. Another soldier in the unit was carrying a British issue Number IV Mark 1 or Mark 2 SMLE infantry rifle. It was first issued to a military unit in 1949. The 'sniper' hero is carrying a post-war FN-49 rifle. Normally in a war one uses the weapons of your own side. The story is set in the Battle of the Bulge period.

I am watching Company of Heroes presently.
