Very Repetitive

Really great production, great scenery, acting not bad, but the problem I had was it told the same story over and over but from different perspectives. It never really moves the movie forward much. It's a good movie, kept me engaged the whole time, just a bit boring after you see the same scene four times.

Sacrifice

No pun intended - actually the international title of the movie. Or is it just the german title? Not sure, but anyway, the movie is based on historical events and may elevate certain things too. I can not tell you how accurate it is. I can tell you that it feels quite patriotic. But you should not have an issue with that. US movies do the same thing - making the heroes bigger than they are.In war time certain sacrifices have to be made. Production values are really good - the setting seems simple enough. Or at least it is contained so you won't lose your train of thoughts or won't get lost in who is who and who is fighting for whom. Action and drama work hand in hand - not the best movie ever (at least for me), but nmore than decent enough.
