TCM included War Hunt in their Memorial Day festival (maybe a little inappropriate for a tribute to our servicemen?). I found the subject, as a screen play, intriguing, but not the delivery. To me, it would have been better to read, hear it as a reading, or see it in community theater.
The movie resembled an episode of "Combat!", for props and scenery, film quality, and acting. And frankly, the "before they were famous" actors shown here had a reason for their anonymity, they still lacked confidence and training and delivered what was at best a TV movie quality product, in my opinion.
Contrast this to the realistic acting and tight cutting in "Hell is for Heroes". Again, to me a great concept, a good screenplay, but "movie of the week" product.
