ALONE WE FIGHT Report Card


ALONE WE FIGHT

REPORT CARD - By The Professor


SUMMARY:

Grade = C

 

The second Indie film in as many months concerning WWII, but having no large battles.

The film plays tribute to the Army Rangers, from a proven war template format.

It’s basically a low budget fair to midland war movie.

ACTING

Grade = C

 

The acting is adequate; no particular standouts.

SCRIPT

Grade = C

 

The script suffers from underdeveloped characters.  While we see them respond in different manners, there is no explanation of their rationale.

TECHNICAL:

Grade = C

 

SFX guys slipped on the audio.  Guns sound like caps.  All grenades blow straight up, like M-80s.

IMPRESSIONS:

 

Not sure why Lee switched studios.  At least he brought his technical crew with him.
Battle strategy is lame (“I’m going to flank left.”)

STARS

Adidas Bristow; Matt McCarthy; Phil Nathanael; Kate Conway; and Lara Ducey.

TECH FOLKS:

 

Director & Writer – Justin Lee
Cinematographer – Justin Janowitz
Editor – Michael Tang

RECOMMENDATIONS:

 

This one if for aficionados of WWII movies.  The scene with the sniper is the film’s best.
