une, 1944. With the US invasion of Europe hanging in the balance, Allied commanders issued a top-secret directive that would send six men behind enemy lines to assassinate a high-value Nazi target. A mixed unit of soldiers from the 82nd Airborne, comprised of men from Easy, Able and Dog Companies, was joined by a lone member of the French Resistance. Their mission has never been officially acknowledged, and there is no record the unit ever existed. But those who were there gave it a name of its own: Murder Company. (Based on actual events).

• Jbspins.com: It understands who its audience is rooting for and why. Like the American soldiers in harm’s way, it isn’t always pretty but it gets the job done. Recommended as a down-and-dirty satisfyingly to the point tribute to the American fighting men of WWII.
• Moviefreak.com: Features a couple of solidly interesting performances from Joe Anderson and Gilles Marini.
• Voicesfromthebalcony.com: Will keep viewers occupied.
