I mean, to some extent I enjoyed Brad Pitt's barely hanging on with his fingernails feelings thing, where he just was constantly on the edge of completely having a brokenheart the next time he saw a kitten. And the Bible quotes were good. But... the weird rapey scene in the middle sort of sank that? The whole thing was a bit too much of a hard nope for me, that I'm out on the entire crew. IDK, as you say it wasn't super consistent.
I guess I appreciated the brutality of the invasion, which you don't see in American movies a lot, but that was kind of... blunted by the SS troop at the end looking like daisies. This was the end of a seven-year war for them, why do they look LESS ragged than the troops who've only been in since '41?
Liked the tank scenes. Still not sure why they had to depower the amount of damage the later US tanks could do v. a tiger (at that point in the war). Other than drama, which is rather the point, I guess. The co-ordinating with infantry scene was probably the most interesting part technically speaking.
For an assistant driver, the kid drover very little.

A+ Jason Isaacs, anyway.
