Anyone else seen this film yet? It won quite a few awards at some of the lesser-known film festivals. I'd never heard of it, but was given it recently & thoroughly enjoyed it. No big name actors, but still a very good film.
The story takes place during the Battle of the Bulge, about a small group of recently-captured Americans who manage to escape the massacre of POW's at Malmedy and try to head back to their own lines:

My only slight criticism was with the part of the story involving a downed British airman with 'vital information' which must be conveyed to HQ - a bit too 'Boy's Own' story for me, but apart from that, this is well made, well acted and worth watching.(Y)
