The principal thrust of the movie is to resolve racial tensions and barriers. The film does this well. However, it is historically laughable to present Jesse Owens in a military capacity. Surely, he was a hero in sports, and social advancement in the USA, but he was never in the military. Blacks were also not generally allowed near the front in World War II, mainly to protect them from capture by the Nazis who would execute them on sight. The film does get around this obstacle, however, presenting a logical excuse for a black soldier to be at the front. But the social message, valuable as it is, could have been made without claiming the black character was the Olympic hero, Jesse Owens, which simply did not happen.

I watched Fury to see some sweet tank battles, but instead just got a recap of the horrors of Americans at war: murder, rape, suicide, etc. Now Saints and Soldiers: The Void is exactly what I wanted: lots of tank lingo, tank battles, tank maneuvers, tank driving, and a story that is a simple "the good guys are good and they prevail" without making every German look like a maniacal, goose-stepping Nazi. And the Hellcats! They're all "Pew pew Pz.IV!" and the Pz.IV's are like "Derp! BOOM! Take that Hellcats". And (spoiler alert) one guy overcomes racism. What more can you ask for?In summation, it is the dankest, tankest, movie out there right now without having to reflect on the weakness of the human condition. I will watch this again.

This movie, while not horrible, is obviously low budget. That said, the Saints and Soldiers series do an admirable job of creating realism with excellent props, especially when considering the low budget. The acting, for the most part is campy, preachy, and over the top. A few of the guys do fine jobs, but most could be much better.But let's be honest, where this movie shines is in getting to watch two beautifully preserved M18 Hellcats and a Pz.III in action. Which brings up one minor gripe; In WWII, armored vehicles were nearly unrecognizable due to the amount of crap they had on them. From backpacks, to wooden ammo and ration crates, to tarps, to sandbag and log armor, etc. These vehicles looked like they just rumbled off the showroom floor.But all in all, I gave it a 7. For WWII armor buffs, you won't find a better movie out there that features Buick's beautiful tank destroyer, which was well loved by it's crews. For those who like fast, light US armor, also check out The Bridge at Remagen, for some incredibly fun M24 Chaffee action.

I can't remember to have seen a bad WW2 Movie, bad sadly that changed with this Movie.This isn't much about the low Budget, which iam OK with, it's the Dialogs and the very bad Acting.Specially the racial Disputes don't seem Real. You simply don't believe the Actors their racial hate and disregard. Its actually so bad that the hole topic is in great danger to become a laughing-stock and thats a shame.But at the end the hole story looks like that. Nothing makes really sense or fit together, you simply don't believe anyone of them and their behavior is simply unrealistic.Also the German translations are often definitely off (mostly not much but still).So no neither the script or the acting works out here. Low Budget or not how hard can it be to write some believable lines, cmon guys who write this piece of processed Food ? I still give that Movie 3 Stars because its trying and I've seen worse so i know i can get worse and i need abit room to the bottom.
