The scenery, storyline, and acting will draw you into this movie. It is surprisingly well done and acted. The only negative aspect at all is the actor portraying Adolf Hitler. I don't know how this slipped by the director and producer when everything else is perfect. Hitler is cartoonish in looks and action. His scenes are surreal in relation to the rest of the movie. Don't let this detract you from buying or seeing it. You WWII history buffs can easily get your spouses to watch this too if you can find moments totaling 14.5 hours to watch it together.
