Critic Reviews

Robert Dominguez

In his feature film debut, Little uses washed-out color and a you-are-there immediacy to tell a powerful wartime tale of survival, morality and honor. Read full review

William Arnold

It's no earthshaker, but the indie film is refreshingly different from the current movie norm, it's won more than 15 awards on the festival circuit, and war-movie aficionados will find it well worth the journey. Read full review

David Chute

The triumph here is a matter of craftsmanship rather than art, but it's rare enough even on that level for a film to be worth celebrating. Read full review

Megan Lehmann

Wants to be an epic in the mold of "Saving Private Ryan," but it's hindered by its modest budget. Read full review

Robert K. Elder

Shackles its characters with stale dialogue straight out of decades-old Sgt. Rock comic books. Read full review

Hank Sartin

There's an uplifting message about heroism, dispensed in dialogue so familiar you can practically lip=synch it. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Ken Fox

That the film seems willing to erect a simple religious parable on such a moral morass is bewildering. That it should do so without accurately depicting the nightmare of Hitler's Europe is unconscionable. Read full review

An excellent movie that is on par with SPR , but completed with a fraction of the budget is quite an accomplishment. A movie for future generations to see how the everyday man of WWII generation truly did save the world.

A cinematically beautiful depiction of a story that deserved to be told. Great casting and choice use of WWII re-enactors. Amazing sound, both effects and score.

Saints and Soldiers isn't the greatest war film by a long shot- Black Hawk Down and Band of Brothers guaranteed that. But it does give the audience an insider's viewpoint to the soldier's struggle with his faith, his freedom, and war itself.

Was a good, yet not action packed war movie. We need more like this that are less glam more emotion.

I watched this movie in a film class and I thought it was pretty good. I thought the movie was well acted even though there are really no superstar actors in it. Special effects usually is what makes a war movie good and unfortunately that is where this movie comes up short. Overall SaintsI watched this movie in a film class and I thought it was pretty good.
