A brutal antiwar film. War is hell and this is 2 hrs and 15 mins. of hell. Something about the lead actor bothered me. I noticed him from other movies but couldn't place him. When I did place him it changed my mood about the film. Even a doomed screaming soldier who had been sliced in half reminded me of Monty Python. The star was the same actor who played FEGELEIN, FEGELEIN, FEGELEIN! in the Hitler reacts series of clips on youtube. ( "Downfall" 2004 )
