Apparently American audiences are so hungry for motion pictures about the last war where they weren't obviously the bad guys, that there need to be a constant stream of made-up stories casting Americans as the architects of victory against axis evil, like U-110 etc. Maybe if they attempted to be on the right side of history now they'd have something to fill cinemas with in future. I won't hold my breath. In 10 years, Hollywood will still be offering up fictitious history and whitewashing the rest. Given that, it's hard to care what these made up heroes in this very real conflict do or don't do. All feels like stolen valour.

The film was fine for what it was. Same as quite a few other films. The music at the end made me burst out laughing it was so bad. I think the song is called Relentless. The film's pretty relentless itself. There's no rest from the minute the kid gets... napped. Keeps you watching though, partly just to see if you can glimpse around Halle Berry's make-up. She looks about 20 years younger than she is...
