General Dwight Eisenhower was 54 years old in 1944, yet the Captain in this is 59. Sure, he doesn't look it but come on, you couldn't find an age-appropriate actor to play the captain?As others have pointed out, the scenery is wrong, the uniforms are wrong, the armor is wrong.

The way I feel about this movie, is like a low budget Saving Private Ryan copycat. Even though this is a WWII rescue movie, you can clearly count that they've probably utilize about 20 actors that actually have a name in the movie and the rest are just filler.The few main actors has been place on their knees with a gun pointed to their head for countless times and somehow they found the nicest Nazi SS soldier in the era of times and helps them or saves them intentionally or accidentally.The good part about this movie is, it has successfully put me to sleep without fail every single time when my fairy tail story didn't.Watch it if you want to fall asleep.

The Last Rescue try's very hard to make a worthwhile B grade WWII drama/action flick and partly succeeds. The storytelling is reasonable, if predictable, and the acting is actually quite good. Where this film falls down badly is the choice of locations. Its very obviously not Europe. Worse still its not careful in its use of what is available. Houses used in the film are clearly not European, they look American. I was not surprised to find this film was shot in the USA. Perhaps this sounds petty but misuse of locations can really ruin the sense of atmosphere that was initially well established in the opening scenes of this drama. The Last Rescue is a reasonable effort that could have been better again with a more considered choice of locations and buildings. Six out of ten from me.

The movie is set in France after D-day. You'll see some WWII hardware - tanks, vehicles, etc., but most of the battles are more intimate warfare - guns, knives, stand-offs, and a fist fight in a POW camp. The movie has some action, but it actually has more suspense than action as a group of American soldiers that are stranded behind enemy lines try to get to safety with their own German POW in tow. The movie chronicles the external struggles of the group on their journey but also the internal struggles of what each character in the group e is grappling with. I liked that character exploration. Just when things were starting to slow down, a new twist comes up for the group, and they are thrust into more danger. Solid independent film with some scenes of great directing full of suspense and tension as well as beautiful cinematography. And overall, the core cast is very good.
