A postal worker shoots a man in cold blood and a marble statue head is found in his closet. The story behind this decorated veteran goes back to WWII, where four Buffalo soldiers hole up in a small Italian village, behind enemy lines, with a small child, clashing personalities and constant threat of attack. -- Chris aka Tarkin

While not Spike Lee's best, I think it's better than most give it credit for. It could have moved a bit quicker, but overall I thought it worked well enough. It may not be earth-shattering, but it is worth a watch. |

It's just as good as most Spike Lee joints. But, it's nothing spectacular. All in all, it's a pretty good movie. |

Better than what you've heard |
|
Aside from the beginning scenes and the epilogue the majority of the film takes place in 1944 where four members of 92nd Infantry Division (Derek Luke, Michael Ealy, Laz Alonso, Omar Benson Miller) find themselves cut-off from their unit and trapped in a small Italian town in the Tuscan countryside surrounded by German troops.
The film is about secrets which are slowly unveiled to the audience, though not necessarily the characters, over the course of the movie. The discovery of the small child (Matteo Sciabordi) in 1944 who survived the Sant’Anna di Stazzema massacre and the murder and discovery of the artifact by the police at cub reporter Tim Boyle (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) in 1983, at the beginning of the film, are but two pieces of a much larger story.
There’s much here to discus... |
