Reaches for more than it can handle, but it's well-acted and earnest in its intentions.
Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune

Proves a servicable World War II drama that can't totally hide its contrivances, but it at least calls attention to a problem Hollywood too long has ignored.
Robert Denerstein, Denver Rocky Mountain News
Fresh
An exciting, thoughtful and adrenaline-pumping war picture that is provocative and different.
Rex Reed, New York Observer

We're situated in that familiar showbiz intersection of Hollywood and Rhine.
