Tom always gives it his best, the rest of the cast is good (especially all four female leads) and I thought the added humour with Hunt's character was a nice touch. And- oh!- the exposition! There's a scene near the beginning that reminded me of a Neil Breen(!) movie, where powerful people sit in a room and just spout buzz words like 'nuclear war,' 'economic collapse,' 'dogs and cats living together' etc. I actually enjoyed the first desert shoot-out the best. There are really only 3 or 4 action sequences, and nothing we haven't really seen before. If you've seen the promo, you've seen the scene. Also, I really wish they hadn't ruined the motorcycle jump in the promos. plot is quite good, and Hunt's as-yet-unknown backstory quite intriguing, but the whole story basically revolves around: 'I've got the key, now she's got the key, now he's got the key' etc. It can't be easy to make a huge movie like this during a pandemic, but it definitely shows. I kept noticing that a lot of scenes had just 2 or 3 people in them, and I kept imagining the crew all masked up, as well as the cast when the camera wasn't on them. There's some good stuff here for sure, and overall it's a solid 8, but it's simply not as good as previous entries. From Part 4 onwards, they've been spectacular (all 10/10's). 'In the Trenches: Filming Company of Heroes,' will offer a look at how the filmmakers transformed a video game into a movie, while 'Fabricating World War II' takes a look at the weapons and vehicles used in the making of the historically-set film.Ĭompany of Heroes is directed by Don Michael Paul, the man behind Lake Placid: The Final Chapter and 2007 release Who's Your Caddy?
