Movie companie of heroes8/19/2023 In terms of weapon accuracy, they are using Lee Enfield rifles used by the british army, the thompsons they use are a collection of M1928A1 thompsons(used more often in the early years of the war mainly seen in the pacific) and M1's and M1A1's(which were correct) however, they have 20 round box magazines(early WWII) rather than the 30 round magazines which were widely used at the time, (given that it takes place during the battle of the bulge in 1945, the last year of WWII) When they go to take out the mortar crew, I notice after one soldier kills his targets with a thompson, he continues to shake his weapon back and forth after his muzzle flash and firing sounds disappear. Second, during the first sniper scene, he says "easy on the trigger, squeeze.don't pull." then proceeds to take his finger OFF the trigger to yank it back, and manages to get an accurate Saving Private Ryan Eye-shot. First thing I notice, is some of them have the newer era chinstraps on their helmets(with buttons, and the strap actually goes ON the chin) some of them have the chinstraps tucked INSIDE their helmets. This movie, is about the most inaccurate WWII movie I have ever seen. Pitty n for me rouphly a 3/10 Reply Delete Its like a greek salat but instead of tomatoes, olives, olive oil, cheese n cuecumbers u have some of brother in arms, saving private ryan n i dont know what. Ok i understand the the patern taking known actors from other war movies or series,adding some already used before scenes, using old tricks etc but this is not filmmaking. How many times do we have to see a cascander walking in flames?Īnd what about that, the second face on poster has a role of two scenes in the entire movie? What about numbers of soldiers? How many survive the first attack on the truck? It seems like they keep coming from i dont know where cause although some die the number remains almost the same. Moreover when u set an ambush or try to avoid a superior enemy force u DONT smoke and u dont try to take cover standing up behind a tree.Especially when the tree is thiner than u. I mean how many times do we have to see a sniper getting killed from a bullet through his skope right to his eye?I counted three times same scene (soldiers walking at night through trees and camera taking them from profil position.). It lacks of realism, accuracy, and pitty that all clises are used in that. This movie unfortunately is definately a bad movie. Overall I rate Company Of Heroes a definite rent for war buffs. Problems aside, Company Of Heroes plays out as a decent action/war flick. A 100 minute movie seems a bit short, given the subject matter, I would have liked to see more of perspective, from various command points of view and more story detail given to the super-weapon compound. The story should have been fleshed out more. Sadly though, Company Of Heroes has a few shortfalls. The uniforms looked old and tattered, as they should from long battles. I am not a WWII buff, so I cannot comment with regards to the historical accuracy of Company Of Heroes, but I can say at least a valient attempt is made to exclude most, I say most, present day colloquialisms. A splash of beauty thrown in with sultry actress Melia Kreiling as Krestrel, who helps the soldiers in the secret weapons area, makes sure this testosterone fest, does not forget the fairer sex. Company Of Heroes has a few bright spots with the gritty performances of Chad Michael Collins as the young gun sniper and Tom Sizemore as the grizzled old vet, who is busted down in rank to cook.
