Operation Overlord

Very slow going. Signs with wrong german spelling. German SS uniforms that are completely wrong. SS soldiers wearing Luftwaffe badges. Landmines that explode when you throw a small rock on them. Buildings with airconditioning ducts in it, whilst it is during WW2... There are just so many things wrong with this movie. Why would a director of a movie not put some time in being sure that the basics are correct?! And that is even before the sloppy video shooting and editing. I hope that this is the last movie this director will ever make. What a total waste of money...

So here they took a storyline that we all know so well, added some unique characters and a urgency to give them a storyline. It was heartfelt at times, sadistic and cruel at others. Made you stop and think! Isn't that why we watch movies? So we enjoyed, acting was good, overall a nice film!

Clearly made cheap and the acting is level * movie. There could have been something in the story, but it immediately comes to mind for Saving Private Ryan.

Two soldiers are tasked to go into a Nazi prison and rescue Private Donovan (Stacey A Sheffield) and find out what he told the enemy about Operation Overlord. I am not sure how an African-American private had detailed information on the operation over a week in advance. The film was low budget and not much of a war film. Not even stock footage of fighting. Acting wasn't great. Camera shots were off such as when Corporal Brown (Thom Hallum) was talking, Corporal Anderson's (Billy Blair) left ear and part of the back of his head would be in the scene. Was that for some type of effect? Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

You ever hear that expression they don't make them like they used to? Its an expression usually reserved for some of the most cherished classics that were allowed to be dangerous or fresh or unique and to thrive. But among all those classics were bundles upon bundles of some of the worst kinds of movie that were as bad as they could be either due to a lack of technical means at the time or just severe lack of talent. Whatever the reason is behind operation overlord and its dumpster fire that never goes quite out may remain a mystery lost to time as it should as the movie itself will be. I am mystified by the very audacity of the film makers to create this and put it out into the world and think to themselves that anybody should be subjected to that. Shame on them for doing so. Oh well. They just don't make them like they used to and this movie proves that to not necessarily be a bad thing.

The director/writer can't direct/write so it feels like it was just made by a team of can't types. There is a film review on here that is written by the writer/director of his movie! HAHA. No one. Not one person in the world finds this to be a good film. Anyway probably best to simply avoid at all costs. You can do better. These people can't. They'll always make their rip-off walmart brand movies that trick people with good covers.

Operation Overlord is great and exciting and manages to pull off capturing the time period that it takes place in. Good performances as usual by these guys and a steady captain guiding the ship. This is another knock out from B22.

Where to start? Historical facts all wrong. Acting atrocious. Uniforms wrong. But the best line in comedy ! After taking a gag out of the German prisoners mouth and telling him not to scream , to attract attention of the guards only a few rooms away. They shoot him !!!! One of the American soldiers asks the other " do you think they heard us?" 😂😂😂😂

Very low budget, so it's a lot like a play, mostly one location with a couple actors. Not a terrible job but not sure it's worth the time - nothing creative or interesting, just the usual nazis and less than competent fighting.
