Enemy Lines (2020)
Awful cliched impossible
Where to start? Never ending magazines, dodging m42 strafing, radios ranging from England to Poland, radar on fishing boat, multi lingual farm peasants, the tough guy but caring yank, the Soviets as a 2nd enemy in '43, long range pistols, the wounded staying behind to sacrifice, the escape exactly on time to the second at the exact place. Based on a true story? Well WW2 did happen. So bad not even funny.
The Last Full Measure (2019)
Timing is 20 years out!
I cannot believe all reviews so far miss the most glaringly obvious production error: the main protagonists are 20 years too old in the story's main plot timeline, i.e. the 1997-98 investigation period. The survivors would have been in the early 50s being some 32 years on from actual events, instead we are presented with all very old men; Samuel L Jackson, a grandad in his 70s, Ed Harris almost 70, Peter Fonda looking every day like his 79 years. This would have made Fonda almost 50 in the battle.
They could have got away with it if the investigation had been done in 2017, not 1997. As it was, it lost all plausibility very early on.
