Western Europe, 1945. The gentle, thoughtful, and sensitive Losey and the mean, base, and vicious Deming are two radically contrasting American soldiers who desert their platoons during the final days of World War II. The pair stumble across a ragtag group of orphans who have been trained as ruthless killers. The two soldiers, the orphans, and the two adults who serve as surrogate parents to the children are forced to make a desperate stand against a Nazi tank battalion who have them trapped inside an old crumbling building.
After a superior opening sequence in the minefield, the film winds down, with much walking and talking. It then picks up again when the battle begins between the orphan army and the Nazis. At this point the movie really has nowhere to go. Obviously the rag tag children are not going to defeat the Germans and their tank. Unfortunately the battle sequences are not always credible, and seem stretched to the maximum. I think that the initial idea of the two deserters could have been further developed, rather than boxing everything into a conclusion that is rather unlikely and therefore somewhat unsatisfying................. - MERK
POSSIBLE SPOILERS, though nothing that's not already implied in the trailer.
With its spooky score and macabre imagery, this is a genre-bending, low-budget tale of a couple of American soldiers gone AWOL somewhere in snow-blanketed "Western Europe," presumably France, in the early months of 1945. The casting of British actor David Warner (best known to American audiences as the ex-Pinkerton manservant to the villain Cal Hockley in James Cameron's "Titanic") lends gravitas to the film, where he plays the leader of a ragtag bunch of children who lost their orphanage in a blitz and have resorted to guerrilla warfare against the German army, which is in various stages of retreat as the story opens.
American television audiences will see faces they know in character actors Scott MacDonald (Deming), Daniel Roebuck (an ill-fated MP), and James LeGros (who would go on to series- regular roles in the short-lived "Sleeper Cell," "Mercy," and HBO's "Mildred Pierce" mini- series). Ryan Francis, who has worked intermittently since his role as a teenaged son on the NBC family drama "Sisters," leads the cast as the soldier Losey, a basket-case who was found shouting and writhing in the snow before being carted off by the military police. The audience is privy to his flashbacks that build gradually to the incident that sent him over the edge—clearly he is suffering from what today we call PTSD—and flashbacks to the more idyllic and sun-drenched days of his youth.
Losey is the conscience-stricken soldier forced to accompany the morally bankrupt Deming on a directionless trek across country to avoid recapture, encountering a crazed, half-starved priest who appears to have resorted to cannibalism; an eerie forest of hanged villagers including bride and groom; and a stray horse that they ride to their next stop: a small but multi-story abandoned factory that turns out to be the home base of the guerrillas. Deming terrorizes the old couple, Deacon (Warner) and Maria (Linda Thorson), until he has the tables turned on him by the heavily armed orphans, some of them crippled or disfigured by the war. Eventually they must work together in fierce battle against a platoon of German soldiers with a tank.
Shot in Romania with real Romanian orphans, according to producer Chuck Williams, who screened the film at the Carolina Civic Center in Lumberton, N.C., in 2013, the countryside and settings such as the bombed-out (Eastern-Orthodox) church betray that location. According to Williams, the screenplay was inspired by two different books, but the viewer will find the film has a thematic unity in the way it portrays the horrors and crippling effects of war—physical and mental—and opportunities for redemption.
