That this film only holds a score of 5.5 on this site is beyond me... I thought the movie was excellent, especially considering its low budget and short running time.Be warned that I am a huge admirer of American Airborne troops in WWII, so maybe I am biased when reviewing this film. I guess you will have to be a little nerdy about Paratroopers to really appreciate Sains and Soldiers: Airborne Creed.With that in mind, I thought the story was compelling, the characters interesting and believable, the score was nice and fitting, and the acting was overall great. The ending was a little unusual (not what I had expected at all), but also original and thought-provoking.All in all, I thought this was a great movie, and I highly recommend it, especially if you have a little passion for WWII Paratroopers. I almost didn't watch it because of the low score it holds on this website, but I ended up watching it anyway, and it was totally worth it. So don't get fooled by the low score! 9/10

This is a prequel to the 2003 film SAINTS AND SOLDIERS . It seems very strange producing a film ten years after especially if it's as quickly forgotten as the original . That said the original S&S was a different type of war film that put a human face on war . The point it made was that wars aren't fought by combatants but by human beings and this prequel follows in the same footsteps Actually it perhaps follows a bit too slavishly . If you didn't notice the point in the 2003 movie then AIRBORN CREED will remind even the densest viewer . The opening scene features a German officer talking to his young son - while he arranges the execution of two French resistance members . Interesting that he's not some goose stepping dogmatic Nazi ideologue but a normal member of the Wehrmacht . The rest of the film continues in the same vein with the same strengths and weaknesses as the first film . It's never as deep and as profound as it thinks it is and my abiding memory of it is Americans and Frenchmen fighting alongside one another which is not something you see very often in Hollywood war movies

Of the deluge of low budget World War II movies coming out of both Europe and the USA this little indie effort is better than most. I can see where great care has been given here to getting people who sound German to speak German, French to speak French. It may not have been shot in the South of France, but the DOP has spent some considerable care to give the film the warm tones of that part of Europe and the CGI shots blend nicely to convince of this too. The plot is a little wish washy, men taking part in Dragoon, (The invasion of the South of France, August 1944) end up helping the French resistance on an unrelated mission. The number of characters is kept small and simple and the action scenes are nicely directed. The acting here is earnest, the cast aren't going to win any Oscars, but they don't make the mistake of over selling their performances like so many inexperienced actors would. Everyone here does a good job. Its a small film and a small story, so don't be expecting Band of Brothers, but its well made with care and love and a great example of how to make a small but interesting film, as opposed to the terrible 'Rhineland' which felt like a bunch of re-in-actors out on a jolly. Here you can tell everyone involved wanted to make a good authentic film with a bit of heart, they succeeded. If you liked the original your unlikely to be too disappointed, I personally wasn't and this has made it into my WW2 Collection.
