Come out Fighting

I'm a big fan of some of the actors in this movie, like Michael Jai White and Tyrese Gibson. This movie has a few good points but many bad. But it's not the worst WWII movie I've seen. It does portray the stress of battle well, showing how Lt. Hayes is suffering from battle fatigue (PTSD) and how that can affect soldiers, and Hyram Murphy did a good job portraying that. Tyrese Gibson also did a good job portraying a tank commander who has seen too much. The movie did an okay job of showing how black soldiers faced prejudice during the war, such as white soldiers refusing to salute or doing so grudgingly, but I feel that could have been done better. Many of the battle scenes were poorly executed and the CGI effects, which would have been decent for the early 90s, are about unforgivable for 2022. Overall it was okay, but many moments left me groaning and asking "seriously?". There was obviously either a very poor military technical adviser or none at all, as many of the battle tactics and maneuvering were haphazard and sloppy. The story doesn't specify (or I missed it if it did) what month/year it took place, but unless it was mid-1944 or later, seeing the German ME-262 jet fighter would have not have been realistic. However, I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt and accept that the timing could have been correct for its appearance. Overall, I rated it a 5 because I liked the story, but this movie could have been executed much better with an experienced director and military technical adviser. Worth the watch? Honestly, I can't give a positive answer.

How did this get made?

I wish I knew people that are okay seeing piles of their money set on fire.

They spent a lot of money on some things. Not terrible CGI dog fighting, physical US and German tanks moving around a battle field, hundreds of small arms, uniforms, and a half dozen B actors.

And spent zero dollars on other things, like writers, military advisors, directors, cinematographers, editors, etc...how?

Like when a truly gifted film maker gets his hands on a microscopic budget, they can make something compelling.

You give a child with zero self awareness a bucket of money, they have people throwing hand grenades at a mortar team 200 yards away. Or tanks that stop moving once they are fired upon.

Where were the adults?

This movie Come Out Fighting is a disgrace to the Black soldiers in which this movie is loosely based! First off this movie suffers from a white savior complex from the White actors listed ahead of the Black actors much like the movie glory! The movie was written and directed by a white Director which by itself is not the main problem with the movie but explains a lot. The 761 Tank battalion also known as the Original Black Panthers of the United States Army was a separate Tank battalion consisting of Black Soldiers. The 761 Tank Battalion had numerous exploits that the director could have used for his movie but chose to dishonor these heroic soldiers with a badly written script. The Black Actors through no fault of their own did the best they could with the weak script given to them. Hollywood deserves to give the Black Soldiers of the 761 Tank battalion a big budget movie so the world can give them the praise they deserved!

The storyline is typical, 'rescue your commanding officer from behind enemy lines'. The acting for the most part was terrible. The use of CGI, special effects were abysmal. And they portrayed the Germans as very inept. If I didn't pay $6 to rent off Fandango I would have turned it off. I suppose the makers of this film rented the vehicles used from collectors or museums, none seemed destroyed during the fight scenes. Just sparks and puffs of smoke when impacted by bazookas or artillery. No field officers could read a map. It was a sadly made movie. I gave it 4 stars only because I like WWII movies.

Complete nonsense. The tiger would shoot them all like a shooting range. The Germans fought well. Ambushing tanks with mortars and heavy machine guns and not hitting a single vehicle is ridiculous and counterattacking with rifles is complete nonsense.

It's a pity that I can not put 0 or even -1. The agenda steers to the detriment of realism. Directing - 0, cameraman - 0, script - -5.

If you want to see real combat actions - see "Rescue of Private Raivn". And call a detachment of sappers to clear the mines in a combat situation and stand upright on open terrain with the whole team .. what were you smoking there when you came up with this dregs,)))
