Company of Heroes (2013)
Inspired by a video game of the same name which i confess to never having heard of. Company of Heroes is an entertaining action packed ninety minutes.
According to other sources, quite a bit of the film is inaccurate, but not being an expert on who should be shooting which weapon or using whichever radio i never noticed. What i did notice was a lot of hardware, it's not often films like this (low budget) have Tiger tanks in them, never mind fighter planes and tons of other vehicles to get blown up. In many ways it felt like an updating of Castellari's The Inglorious Bastards in that barely five minutes passed without a gun fight or explosion.
Starring Tom Sizemore and Vinnie Jones, you know you won't get Oscar baiting material, none the less Company of Heroes is a lot of fun and a film i will go back to quite a bit in the future no doubt.
