Critics Consensus

While it draws heavily on war movie conventions, Saints and Soldiers has strong performances and a compelling central plot.

3/5

Despite the odd clunking mis-step and aspirations above its rank, this has enough going for it to get it home safely.

2.5/4

There aren't any plot surprises in this low-budget effort, so the success of the mission from a viewer standpoint depends on how well you connect with the characters and their plight.

A worthy effort that's entirely appropriate for mainstream audiences.

2/5

The authentic-sounding banter helps to round out the characters' backstories, too, but the acting isn't the best and Heyborne's limey accent borders on parody.

Well-made short war movie. Although you spend so little time with the characters, you can feel for them.

SAINTS AND SOLDIERS really works as a realistic WWII combat and drama flick. Too bad there aren't more of these made; all three of the series are good and I'd recommend them to anyone.

A not very interesting low budget unfocussed slow-moving movie about relationships between a group of soldiers behind enemy lines in WW2, as they encounter, intermittently, the enemy, and acquire a new objective. We didn't get to know the characters, so we weren't made to care much about what might happen to them.

The most astonishing thing about this film is the fact that it is a top-quality film that was made by producers, crew, and actors whose names are unknown in Hollywood. After watching the movie on DVD, I watched the featurette about how it was made. I can hardly believe that a film as good as this was produced on a budget of under a million dollars.
