Why does the U.S. soldier have a Russian helmet? Lame.

Saving Private Ryan, it is Not !!
OzMovieWatcher11 August 2020
Start and end of movie were carbon copies of Saving private Ryan.
In between, there is the virtually unbelievable tale of a coward British paratrooper who meets up with a Chuck Norris, come Sylvester Stalone war monger type and traveling through a heavily wooded forest constant hounded by 'murderous' Germans.
The who movie is riddled with errors and goofs. Bad acting and poor CGI are the icing on the cake.
But.... I did watch it all the way through and while is was nothing of any historical accuracy, it was light entertainment.
I give it 3 Stars.

Shocking

This is possibly the worst film I have ever had the displeasure of watching, the acting is week and the script is woeful. Thee is so much wrong with this film I truly do not know where to start, the uniforms, effects (or lack of) are so so poor. Avoid this film at all costs!
Oh My, how bad.

Warning: Spoilers
I smirked at the Chinese Tactical knife the Brit stuck himself with.
Then I couldn't figure out what was wrong with the American's helmet. It's a Russian helmet.
The Grenades had blue training fuses. A .98 cent can of Olive Drab paint would have fixed that.
The American was Rambo and the Brit a sheep.
Horrible film.

Totally phony. Low budget.

Totally phony, example.....when they show the automatic weapons firing the charging handle is not moving. They could have at least used blank bullets. You could tell they were not firing the guns for real. Took took the excitement out of the movie.
Bad to worse

Unusually Bad

Unfortunately this movie did not deliver on ANY level. The plot was potentially a good one about the closing days of WW2 in Europe but the weak story line and wooden actors were doomed from the start. The cast was very small with each playing multiple roles and they simply could not carry it off.
The SFX were third rate which was right on par with every other aspect of this movie.
If you can find the strength to sit through the movie, take an extra 3 minutes to read the closing credits that will acknowledge the endeavours of the entire family of the writer/producer/director (Jason Mills). Talk about keeping it in the family! There was way too much "Drone" footage and it transpires that the Drone was owned by another family member (probably an xmas gift). In summary this creation had no redeeming features and it is to be avoided at all costs!

The American solider was portrayed as Schwarzenegger in the film commando, not at all the description on the cover of the dvd namely that being of two frightened soliders. The British solider assumed to be a paratrooper returning from battle ? Returning to the UK i assume, so would have had some battle experience one would think. The british parachute regiment of WW2 were volunteers being highly trained elite motivated troops first in to battle more often than not.
As he came down by parachute I assume him to be parachute regiment trained and them guys then and now are as one would think more than a little tough. How this man got through even basic training I will never know did his military instructors dish out cuddles Kleenex and mugs of hot chocolate with mini marshmallows. He was made out to be lacking it all common sense, survial instinct, moral fibre, backbone or whatever term you wish to use.
Would he have not been taught use of cover, sourcing food, collection of available weapons and ammunition.
Once again the 1941 guys won the war again and the British depicted as incompedenent and in this particular effort of film making cowardly.
You got to show the star spangled banner so good on you.
If you as are as unfortunate as me in having purchased the dvd try and spot the Dutch barn owners shovel, we call them farmers. The shovel displays a sticker with a bar code on it lack of detail one of many faults.
Not a bad film at all

Harrowing Misfire - Beyond the Line
arthur_tafero29 August 2023
Mr. Sargent did a pretty good job making this film, which is a combination of real-time events as in 1917, and a bit of Saving Private Ryan. Although the film lacks the production values of either of those high-budget films, it still delivers a decent result for the viewer. We see one soldier, a Brit, who narrowly escapes his plane before it is blown to bits, and falls on his knife trying to get out of a tree. He meets an American soldier (who saves the Brit's life), and the two go about trying to escape from behind the lines. A confusing element is the intro, which talks about the vast numbers of Germans that surrendered after D-Day, but we never see any Germans surrendering in this film. Despite a few flaws, the film holds up for an hour and change.
Entertaining, ENJOYABLE

better than expected

I found it funny and engaging, and way better than expected. People bashing this movie have to consider the differences between budgets in film making. For example, Behind Enemy Lines cost about $40 million to make... Beyond the Line probably cost less than $40,000. Should only big budget producers be able to release films? Why not support the little guys like this to see the magic they can turn out with relatively no budget.
Loved it!
