Watchable film about the D-Day landings and the need to disengage the cannons on the Point Du Hoc covering the invasion beaches allocated the US Army. For this film to stand out above others covering similar scenarios the store story line needed to be much tighter and create the feeling you really want the US soldiers to win!
This is one of those US movies on WWII, which is low-budget, often very Christian (the funding for these films aftern comes from Christian organisations) and VERY gung-ho Americans. It's almost as if the USA had been fighting Germany since September 1939 and not just December 41 when Japan bombed Pearl Harbour..
The characterisation is weak, and the unstable character is said to be like that because he had been on an operation with the British!
That and the weak writing make it totally forgettable.
Nice Nazi uniforms though, and lots of shooting.
The sandy beaches are pure Virginia though and look it.
2 stars - just. I always give some credit to low budget films...
