criticism
Kino.de says: “An ambitiously produced and patriotic American war drama of the second budget league draws an arc from the Second World War to the present day Iraq with a frame story connecting both locations, in which“ Babe ”farmer James Cromwell tells stories from back then to the youngsters . Played convincingly, not as hectically assembled in the battle scenes as elsewhere, you can even see who is shooting at whom, and with what result. "
