The movie is more focused on action than previous films in the Saints and Soldiers series. By John Olson/The LIFE Images Collection/Getty Images. The delivery of the message it wants to convey is kinda blunt towards the end, but it's still worth the watch. Wounded Marines ride on top of converted tank used as a make-shift ambulance during the The Battle of Hu, Vietnam, 1968. All in all, some of the characters are interesting. The British captain goes on to mostly fight by himself as he's trying to avenge the death of his fellow prisoners. You have the African-American sergeant who is the most experienced of the lot, trying to take charge of the situation, while 2 men from the tank crews are bigoted against him. The story focuses a lot on racial disputes in the US army at that time. Now they must all fight together to take out the Germans, before an unsuspecting US General, on his way for an inspection, as well as any other Allied forces are caught by the Germans. The German ambush had previously caught 2 trucks transferring liberated POWs and the only survivors are one of the drivers (who is an African-American) and a British captain. 2 US tank destroyers are caught in an ambush by 3 Wehrmacht tanks in a no-man's land area. The plot and story are interesting though. Some of the dialogue is cheesy and feels out of place sometime. The acting isn't half bad, but it's not the greatest either. The movie isn't as bad as I expected from a low budget film (and it shows it's low budget).
