There is so much wrong with this move that I'm not sure where to begin. Bad script, awful acting, lousy directing and bad sound editing, I could go on all day. Quite possibly the words low budget tv production I've seen this decade and I'm not picky. Even the Germans that speak German in this move can't really speak the language. The number of clichés, the number of times Nazies and the killing of Jews are mentioned together, would alone drag the movie down to the lowest of scores. I'll give it two stars since I like the fact that there is virtually no music soundtrack, which is sort of like. It's probably the only thing I approve of.
You ever hear that expression they don't make them like they used to? Its an expression usually reserved for some of the most cherished classics that were allowed to be dangerous or fresh or unique and to thrive. But among all those classics were bundles upon bundles of some of the worst kinds of movie that were as bad as they could be either due to a lack of technical means at the time or just severe lack of talent. Whatever the reason is behind operation overlord and its dumpster fire that never goes quite out may remain a mystery lost to time as it should as the movie itself will be. I am mystified by the very audacity of the film makers to create this and put it out into the world and think to themselves that anybody should be subjected to that. Shame on them for doing so. Oh well. They just don't make them like they used to and this movie proves that to not necessarily be a bad thing.
Very slow going. Signs with wrong german spelling. German SS uniforms that are completely wrong. SS soldiers wearing Luftwaffe badges. Landmines that explode when you throw a small rock on them. Buildings with airconditioning ducts in it, whilst it is during WW2...
There are just so many things wrong with this movie. Why would a director of a movie not put some time in being sure that the basics are correct?! And that is even before the sloppy video shooting and editing.
I hope that this is the last movie this director will ever make. What a total waste of money...

And boy does it feel like they tried. If anybody tried to tell me that the people making this were trying to actually make a good movie I would have to laugh at them and call them a liar. Theres no way somebody could make something this bad on accident.
I gave it a 3 simply due to the acting.
The acting was good. And other parts were good too, like the costumes and some fx.
Directing WAS AWFUL. Writing WAS AWFUL.

Very low budget, so it's a lot like a play, mostly one location with a couple actors. Not a terrible job but not sure it's worth the time - nothing creative or interesting, just the usual nazis and less than competent fighting.
Did you know
- GoofsSuccess of Operation Overlord relied on utmost secrecy and disinformation. All Americans sent in this film behind German lines seem to be aware of all details about the coming invasion a few days before. That would be risky if they were caught by Germans.
