Review of Warsaw 44

Warsaw 44 (2014)
3/10
over-the-top style not appropriate for the subject
1 October 2014
There are much better films about world war two events. This movie combines some historical information with an improbable love triangle and battle scenes with matrix-like visual effects. The sound is fine, camera work is good and the visual effects are competent, but taste is lacking in the way it was all put together.

The scene where the protagonist first meets his main girl is very weak. The scene of their first kiss is ridiculous. For some unexplained reason, the main girl goes off on a walk, in the middle of a battle zone. The protagonist sees that there are Germans nearby and instead of shooting at the Germans from his vantage point or telling his mates that there is a problem, he goes after the girl, saves her from a bullet and when they kiss, rockets and anti-aircraft bullets suddenly fly around like it was Vietnam.

It's probably good enough for mass markets accustomed to Hollywood blockbusters, but it's not a good film.
