This was a great movie. The cast was phenomenal and the characters were actual heroes in WWII, not creations of script writers writing historical fiction. This movie reflects back to a time and generations when Americans were overwhelmingly patriotic and bravely fought against enemies and ideologies that threatened our freedoms as opposed to our current times when some of the things that we do best are finger pointing, name calling and fighting amongst ourselves. We thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated this movie and are scratching our heads over professional reviews which call it over-long, overstuffed and B-movie quality. Highly recommended!
