    An excellent movie that is on par with SPR , but completed with a fraction of the budget is quite an accomplishment. A movie for future generations to see how the everyday man of WWII generation truly did save the world.

    It's a wash. Sometimes, the film would excitingly put you on the edge of discovery, but after a while lets you down with strangely acted dialogue -- again and again. Almost comes off as cheesy patriotism as most WWII films like "The Big Red One", et al. Overall, a stumbing attempt, but a good freelance/homework/knitting rental. Oh, and picking up US-issue M1A1s out of a German vehicle probably would not happen.… Expand

    A movie to be seen, it is about our time, a need for true brotherhood.

    A cinematically beautiful depiction of a story that deserved to be told. Great casting and choice use of WWII re-enactors. Amazing sound, both effects and score.

    What an amazing story of faith, conflict, friendship and honor. This film was so entertaining on so many different levels not the least of which was the great character development. My only disappointment is that the budget wasn't big enough to lengthen the film.

    Was a good, yet not action packed war movie. We need more like this that are less glam more emotion.

    Saints and Soldiers isn't the greatest war film by a long shot- Black Hawk Down and Band of Brothers guaranteed that. But it does give the audience an insider's viewpoint to the soldier's struggle with his faith, his freedom, and war itself.

    Shackles its characters with stale dialogue straight out of decades-old Sgt. Rock comic books.

    The thin backstory hints at a conflict between the religious convictions of the hero (helpfully named Deacon) and the demands of combat, but it never fully materializes; as it is, we mainly know that he's a Mormon because he doesn't smoke or drink coffee.
