Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say: (1 ):
Kids say: Not yet rated

A war epic isn't epic if you miss the opportunity for a truly visceral reaction. Let's be clear: It's not terrible, but Murder Company is no Saving Private Ryan. This feels like a movie for people who particularly love war films with lots of action, violence, and swearing -- and very little emotional attachment. This grim but predictable action drama lacks the story layering, emotional depth, and character relatability that superior war epics provide -- the kind of movies that make you feel like you're truly there in the trenches with the soldiers. The cast members do the best with what they were given, but director Shane Dax Taylor may have set himself up for impact failure for anyone coming to the movie with Spielberg-sized expectations.
