COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Cheesy but quite impressive submitted by klickitat on August 7, 2012, 12:15pm At the time of its release, this was the most expensive Canadian film ever produced. (It might still be?) Sure, the plot is a bit cheesy and I thought the female love interest (the always impressive Dhavernas) was too young for Gross's charcter (sorry Paul) but it's an impressive effort that recalls the old Hollywood epics. Fans of historical romance or series like BAND OF BROTHERS should enjoy.
