![]() No Briton would ever describe themself in that way. I kept thinking this guy was a plant put there by the Nazis but as it turns out he is a genuine Soviet POW A character introduces himself as " 'Allo I'm Willoughby British airforce ". The problem is he's several pounds overweight, not something Soviet prisoners of war suffered from at the hands of the Nazis. Wouldn't a better idea be to just stop the train and shoot the Americans ? Also fortunate for the story that the railway line is intact after all that allied bombing A Soviet character introduces himself and says he was a POW of the Germans. For example : On watching the Americans escape on a train bound for Germany the chief Nazi villain states " So now the hunt moves to Stuttgart ". You'll also notice that the American weapons aren't American weapons from that period You can overlook these errors and perhaps suspend disbelief that the Nazis were close to developing the Atomic bomb if there was a compelling storyline but the screenplay is incredibly clumsy and strewn with errors that don't make sense within the film's own internal logic. It's also very obvious that the explosions are created via CGI on a par with the ones used in SyFy Channel productions. One thing is type of tanks the Germans are using - they're certainly unlike any tank the Germans used but are also unlike any tank you've seen. As soon as the Germans turn up in force you'll be surrounded by so many things wrong about COMPANY OF HEROES. Don't speak so soon Despite having some good cinematography and music there's little else to recommend. You do believe the film has transported you to the cold, snow covered Ardennes of December 1944 and any fears that you're going to be watching something on a par to the laughable 1960s big budget version of THE BATTLE OF THE BULGE are unfounded. Thankfully the the years have been physically kind to Sizemore and the early scenes of COMPANY OF HEROES are relatively impressive. 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. Look at the very end, third line up from the bottom after the "all rights reserved" line.I am watching Company of Heroes presently. It also says the same thing at the end of the movie trailer. Hell, the back of the DVD case by all the credits even says: "Based on the video game series 'Company of Heroes' published by THQ inc. You only need to watch the special feature titled "In the Trenches: The Filming of Company of Heroes" They talk and show clips from the vanilla (2006 release) game starting at around 1min 21 sec. Then taking all that and putting it in a storyline." By the key art of the game and what it tries to do for the participant in terms of going into a story and controlling your destiny. "We crafted the story and used the game as kind of a back drop", "I tried to be inspired by the game. Your an active member and participant." - Don Michael Paul, Director "Its such a different medium.film versus a video game. I was correcting them (Aveator and LSD), not you ~_^ 引用自 Marshal of RDR™:the other guy said it has nothing to do with the game.
