Heartfelt tribute
23 April 2019
I've read several books and articles about the real life escapades of The Filthy Thirteen so I recognised many of the stories the characters told and some of the incidents depicted (although some moments have clearly been exaggerated). An epic studio version of this story would have brought more action to the table for sure but the filmmakers should be commended for their valiant attempt to depict the heartbreak of war and the events haunting the participants for the rest of their lives. When they evoke the real life men it's done respectfully and feels like a tribute rather than exploitation. Far from the action epic the poster claims it's actually a nice little drama with a surprising amount of heart.
