SCREENPLAY REVIEWS
"Super...an outstanding job carefully studying the history in great detail and the characters themselves. The world deserves this movie as a great human story that needs to be told over and over again." Roland Gaul, WWII Historian/Author and Curator of the National Museum of Military History in Diekirch, Luxembourg.
"A brilliant account of the trauma and personal sacrifice made by the American Soldier in World War II. It captures the essence of the young men who answered our nation's call to restore liberty and freedom." Walter Pudlowski, Retired Major General and former Commanding General of the 28th Infantry Division.
"A terrific job and a superb account of the execution of Private Eddie Slovik." Tom Hickman, First Battalion Scout and Author of "One Man's Story," an autobiographical account of his battlefield experiences as one of the few surviving original members of the 109th. He was never off the frontlines and survived their entire period of combat duty.
"I couldn't put it down; Father Cummings comes across very clearly and ties the whole story together." William Pena, 1st Lieutenant Company I and Author of "As Far as Schleiden," an autobiographical account of his battlefield experiences after joining the 109th as a replacement at the Siegfried Line.
"Father Cummings, the Regiment's Catholic Chaplain presents an interesting story and character to follow to the end, as you experience his unusual relationship and influence upon the frontline soldiers he served, as well as his role in the sad and senseless execution of Private Eddie Slovik." Don Malarkey, author of "Easy Company Soldier" and a D-Day Veteran of the infamous Easy Company, 506th Regiment, 101st Airborne Division from the "Band of Brothers" HBO mini-series.
