These two films feature action packed stories with good acting. The cinematography is good. The action sequences are believable taking you right on the front lines of World War II! Are these can't miss films? No! But they are a piece of cinematic history and would make a good addition to any war film fans' library!
The audio and video quality of these films are good. There is some minor ghosting in the picture, but it is nothing that should take away from the viewing of these films!
