The Filthy Thirteen (2019)
A mixed bag
15 April 2019 - 10 out of 13 users found this review helpful.
Despite the synopsis the movie is actually told in flashback form, with a modern (1990s?) story of an old man recounting war stories to a young kid. We then see a few incidents the old man encountered in World War II as a young soldier. The movie could have done with more epic WWII battles and it doesn't really live up to the title but obviously budget was restricted on this one. But in fairness the 1940s scenes do feature quite an inventive use of minimal actors in one set locations. The modern story is far less interesting, consisting mostly of dialogue and characters which aren't as fun as the soldiers we see all too briefly in the flashbacks. Could have benefitted from a bigger budget but not bad for what it is.
