Our take
A wounded American soldier is trapped behind German lines during the Battle of the Bulge and has to improvise his way toward safety. Sustained wartime fighting, sniper fire, close-quarters kills and some grisly wound or corpse images sit with lots of strong swearing and a bit of smoking. Fine with a parent from 15. Younger teens who dislike bloody war peril should skip it.
Uplifting themes
It values grit, loyalty and trying to do right under impossible pressure A wounded soldier keeps pushing to survive and protect others when he can A fictionalised look at the Battle of the Bulge and behind-the-lines survival
Story (may spoil tone)
