Title: Cringewothy mangling of history and a Hollywood plot contructed largely of cliches
Review: While they got a few factoids correct about one of the most notable battles in US Army history, the overall mess this movie represents puts it at the bottom of the list of big budget WWII films. With a decent cast, but terrible writing and effects. Usually you can at least say, "well the special effects were good", but this dreck doesn't even reach the level of 1960's Japanese monster movie quality. The tank battles are laughable with American tanks standing in for German (which is understandable), but WHY didn't they use Shermans to represent Shermans??? It's not like There weren't M4 tanks available in Europe. Others here have already said that sunny Spain is hardly a suitable venue to represent the snow and forests of Belgium. If you love history or are a tank enthusiast, this is a movie to skip.
