The Liberation Men

A solid movie by Writer Danny Crossman from a perspective I can't say I've seen in the many war movies I've watched over the years. Nobody seems to have covered the role of Canadians in World War II and their significance. I appreciate that. Not sure how they were able to do it on a "non-Hollywood" budget, but the set pieces were great with multiple artillery, vehicles, weapons and uniforms. It all added to the authenticity of the movie. The movie sets the hook early with the inevitable suffering that occurs in a war setting. I rooted for the protagonists and without spoiling the ending, it was a satisfying end to the movie. Overall, you can tell the production crew really cared about telling a good story. Cheers.

What a treat to see a war film on a budget look and feel much more than it should. Well made and directed. These are the type of indie film that need more attention. Covering subject matter during the war with interesting characters is successful in this drama. I was really surprised by the production value of this film. It was well researched and the uniforms weapons and vehicles was nice to see. Locations were authentic and gave a haunting feel to the time period as we know what went on during theses times. Over all a great film to watch and especially if your a history buff or just someone who likes period films.

The liberation men is a solid indie war flick that depvs into the backstory of the liberation of Holland. Good character development, low light shooting and story. The pace could be better, the lead at times seemed a little low energy although a solid effort there, throw in some more adventurous camera angles (the Dutch angle would be appropriate, Mr robot frame), and sometimes the sound was difficult to hear, but all minor things when you see the effort to detail and other things put into this movie. It takes an army and deep pockets to make the kind of movies we are used to seeing in the box office, which makes this one worthy of look just to see what can be done on a 'budget'.

The Liberation Men feels like an accurate depiction of a WWII story told with an empathetic lens. It is a story of heroism from Canadian soldiers and a film to be added to your lit, especially if you are a fan of war films from that era.

Told in several different languages it is a good idea to have the subtitles turned on unless you have some familiarity with German and Dutch.

This film reminds us of the difficult and complexities experiences during these times and the fear and power that the Nazi's instilled. A well told story about the unsung heroes that is worth a watch.

Makes me wonder if Danny Grossman, the writer, served in the military as the love and respect for the soldier's experience is there.

The Liberation Men is a good movie with a lot of drama and suspense in it. It is a period movie that is worth seeing. It takes place in an historical wartime period. However, what is most surprising is that it is not a historical romantic movie without compromising it's creativity and originality. The movie got stronger as the movie went along, pulling you in. The women in the film are important characters but it is the men who are the central to the film's story. Films transporting audiences back through time have captivated movie audiences over the years and this film is no exception. Bravo!
