When Trumpets Fade (1998 TV Movie)
2/10
this was terrible
26 January 2008
there was very little which was good about this. I'd say the only thing i REALLY found interesting/good was the odd choice of soundtrack - but that can probably be attributed to some degree to the budget - which is NOT what i'm complaining about here.

there are things in this movie that are just stupid - such as a guy with a flame thrower in a forest battle who takes a 50 yard charge - by himself - across a flat, open area towards a half dozen armed Germans who are manning a few 88s. They all fire at him, but somehow miss - i guess his screaming deflects it - anyway, he managed to reach them, at which point they all take turns screaming and running from him as he chases them all down individually - in the open - and torches them.

This pretty much explains a good chunk of this movies ridiculousness. I won't even get into the whole promoted from private to lieutenant in 3 days thing or anything else...
