Best movie of this year hands down!
best movie i've ever seen.
Absolutely the worst movie.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
All right, this movie isn't very good.I'm pretty sure that they always said "Thunder" followed up by "Flash" as respond and not back ways. But I could be wrong.I've actually no idea what the names of the characters are so I can't really say sorry when one of them dies. The idea of the movie was good but the scripting and the lighting of the movie is just really really awful... Also, this wasn't recorded in French at all... Landscape is completely different. If the movie lasted longer than 92 mins their should've been more time to explain the story. And to introduce the characters.
Three companies of paratroopers travel in a deadly mission to France to prepare the drop zone for the airborne attack on the D-Day. They have to install an Eureka transmitter and searchlight to guide the planes in the Normandy invasion."Pathfinders: In the Company of Strangers" is a dreadful and lame war movie – maybe the worst I have ever seen. The "untold and lost story" is disrespectful with the true Normandy invasion and the screenplay is awful without character development and poor dialogs. The direction is also awful with permanent close up camera and terrible soundtrack of machine gun all the time. The acting is ridiculously amateurish. The "battle scenes" are so fake and there is one particularly corny scene, when the German soldier throws a grenade in the trench, one paratrooper shows it to the others and uses his body to contain the explosion instead of throwing it back. My vote is two.Title (Brazil): "Desbravadores: Na Companhia de Estranhos" ("Pathfinders: In the Company of Strangers")
I have read a lot about what these brave men did. Their story is awesome and should have been told with greater attention to the many things they did. It was a big disappointment. Why was the scene about the English girl and dinner included- everyone knows all D-Day participants were locked up for days before the invasion. Who wrote this???????????? It was impossible to tell who was who, why people were doing certain things - it was a very hard movie to follow even if you know a lot about the subject matter. The nicest thing I can say about it is that is that it conveyed to a degree that sense of lonesomeness soldiers who talked about their D-Day experience described with battles going on all around them.
Dreadful acting, dreadful sound, dreadful camera-work, dreadful script. Dreadful! One doesn't need 10 lines of text to go into how bad this film is.
