The only knock I have is some of the props would have benefited from a little dirt, as sometimes they looked to new and not battle-torn, but nonetheless impressive.Final Thought:Ryan Little has proved once again that he deserves a shot to direct a bigger budget film, albeit with a better script writer, and more well-paid actors. The blue/gray tint from editing really gives an old war-time look, which also adds to the realism. In my opinion, the explosions and special effects may not rival those on the big screen, but they were never anywhere close to looking fake.

Everything from the prop guns, to the tanks, to the uniforms were period-correct and had a real, authentic look and feel.

2 Scenery/Setting: As always, Little does a magnificent job at taking the low budget and what little he has to work with and turning in a masterpiece backdrop. The 'whole concept' from start to finish was nicely done. In total, there are many parts where there could have been extra speech, or could have been rewritten, but nothing too bad that would deter you from watching the film. Or written poorly, the superb acting of these two cast members definitely cover it up.
