brooksht The Lost Battalion is probably the single best movie made in the past 2,000 years. I loved the part where they burnt their coffee to make the Germans think they were eating. The part where they got bombed by their own troops was good too. I liked the one guy from Texas too. 10/10 would watch again.

robo8 I want to say the acting is bad, but I think it was the directing that made it so. I never thought much of Highlander (same director) but that one could be blamed on the 80s.This one however, has no excuses. People get shot while exiting trenches with a man in front of him!? Those kind of mistakes, along with an unclear time line, weird battle tactics, sub-par cutting and poor visual effects, makes this one a sub-par film over all.Then like so many other have commented, all this American bullshit. The German general being practically scared of his captured American private. Be prepared to swallow a lot of it, although in small doses.To sum it up, a not horrible but still definitely sub-par war movie in all aspects.

Claudio Carvalho In 1918 in World War I, in the Meuse-Argonne Sector in France, the former New York lawyer and Major Charles White Whittlesey (Rick Schroder) is assigned by Gen. Robert Alexander (Michael Brandon) to a massive suicidal attack against the German forces in the Argonne Forest with his five hundred men battalion. However, the forces supposed to be giving support through the flanks retreat and the communications with the headquarter of the 77th American Division are cut. Major Wittlesey holds his position with his men, mostly Irish, Polish, Italian and Jew gangsters from New York, surrounded by the German army. Without food, water, ammunition and medical supplies, only two hundred men survive after five days of siege.Based on a true event, "The Lost Battalion" is a great tale of bravery and courage. I do not know how accurate the facts are displayed, but I liked this movie very much. The battle scenes are very gore and realistic, in a war of trenches and bayonets, and the actors have great performances, being impossible to highlight an individual acting. Just as a curiosity, this film does not have any actress, only men in the cast. My vote is eight.Title (Brazil): "O Último Batalhão" ("The Last Battalion")

paulyecris We are bombarded with movies that show us the amazing skills and qualities of the American soldier, his bravery, determination etc. I'm not trying to deny these facts, but wouldn't it be nice to see, from time to time, a movie about the "others".i mean, they are humans too. I'm kind of tired of seeing the Americans, "good guys" off-course, kicking the asses of everybody. "Enemy at the gates" is an example of a war movie that, despite his lack of American heroes, still had a certain success. So, dear guys from Hollywood, it is possible...As for this movie, i think the words "cliche" or "kitsch" describe it best. i really had to make huge efforts to watch it till the end. same clichés about the ruthless general that send his mens in impossible missions but they fight like lions and achieve victory, gaining the admiration and respect of the enemy and the gratitude of their comrades blablabla. if you really have time to lose, watch this movie. It's not much worse than the other American war movies.
