The movie I watched was Saints and Soldiers: Airborne Creed. The movie begins with 20 or so men in the back of a plane waiting to jump out over France on D-Day, although there was about 20 of these planes shown. The men parachute out in the night and are all scattered around and alone, trying to get to the rendezvous point to help out the soldiers. The movie follows Sargent Harland "bud" Curtis on his attempt to get to the rendezvous. Shortly afterwards he his caught in the woods by a group of German soldiers who strip him of his weapons and prepare to execute him when another lone american paratrooper sneaks a grenade and a few rounds in the right place to kill of the Germans and save Curtis. The two men travel together towards the meeting point when they find a barn to take camp in, which is inhabited by Sargent Curtis's troop leader. now the 3 of them leave the barn and take off once again towards the rendezvous. after a while of traveling the come across a sniper in the woods, a french girl named April, who asked for their help saving her friends from the Germans. Her and her friends are part of the french resistance and are fighting off the Germans without the government or any leaders. after a while the sniper and the second american have a shooting contest where the woman wins. They come across many Germans of the way and do fine until they reach a tank with around 15 men traveling with it. By this time they have gotten many more french reinforcements and they are about 10 strong. in the battle the troop leader is badly injured and Sargent Curtis is fatally shot, while the other man that saved him from the Germans right in the beginning is shot in the shoulder and looses consciousness. when he wakes up he is stood up by a lone German officer, who earlier in the movie they came across and spared only him in their entire trip, and the officer, very grateful for being spared, doesn't kill him and when he looses consciousness again carries him to a barn, wraps his shoulder, and hunts and cooks some food for them. when he awakes they talk for quite a while about their families, friends, and how they are tired of war after they become more comfortable with each other. that night when he falls asleep the German officer shows a large wound in his side, and then after too much blood was lost, he dies while the american is sleeping. the next morning american forces came and found them and took the american to the medics and confirmed the death of the officer. while at the camp being treated he is met by the woman sniper they helped out, who is one of only 2 others in the group who fought the tank who made it. she gives him a kiss and tells him her real name, which she wouldn't tell earlier, and then the movie is over. The movie was filled with flashbacks from many of the characters.
I think this was a great movie and deserves and 11/10. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone who is willing to watch it.
