	Saints and Soldiers (2004) Movie Review - The Hollywood News
		Saints and Soldiers is a surprisingly effective war film.
		Saints and Soldiers was made by L.D.S. film makers, but it's aimed at a much broader audience than the recent onslaught of Mormon themed films (i.e.
		Corbin Allred's Nathan "Deacon" Greer is a soft-spoken soldier, and while his faith does become pivitol to the story, it's used in an honest fashion and doesn't necessarily become the emphasis of the film.

	The Baron of Deseret
		"Saints and Soldiers" is well made, and earns every one of the film festival awards it has received...although, all things considered, this is probably a movie that you'll see once, enjoy it, recognize the quality behind it...but not feel any great need to see it again in the future.
		I don't believe that soldiers killing other soldiers in the heat of battle can be judged the same as premeditated violent crime outside of war, but even in wartime, there is still reason (and an obligation) to recognize the humanity in your enemy.
		It is beyond the scope of "Saints and Soldiers" but it would be interesting to compare the attitudes towards Germans in the European front versus the attitudes towards the Japanese in the Pacific front.

		"Saints and Soldiers," which earned first-rime director/cinematographer Ryan Little an IFP Spirit nomination for his camerawork, was one of 2004's most exhilarating independent triumphs, a little film with big film credentials that proves independent filmmakers with limited budgets need not work in a closet -- or shoot their films in one.
		Scripted by Geoffrey Panos and Matt Whitaker, "Saints and Soldiers" centers mainly on a group of American soldiers -- survivors of a 1944 mid-December German massacre in the Ardennes forest -- who must work their way from behind enemy lines to get important information back to their units.
		But "Saints and Soldiers" is the more effective and affecting effort, and the Excel Entertainment DVD does a beautiful job of erasing any lingering signs of the film's limited budget.

	The Seattle Times: Arts & Entertainment: "Saints and Soldiers" tells story of Mormon hero in WWII
		But that is precisely the case with "Saints and Soldiers," a small, well-intentioned story about a band of GIs trapped behind enemy lines in the snowy outback of Belgium during the Battle of the Bulge.
		A handful of the soldiers survive by lucky escape or by playing dead, and the rest of the movie tells of their harsh endurance through shellshock, Nazi close encounters and lapses of faith.
		But for the most part, "Saints and Soldiers," which is playing at several theaters and won numerous awards at small festivals, is a worthy effort that's entirely appropriate for mainstream audiences.

		Saints and Soldiers is by far the most ambitious Mormon film to date, and the most different.
		Deacon is point man for a group of four soldiers and one Brit, making their way through enemy territory after the Malmedy Massacre.
		Allred and Gould do a decent job as soldiers, but the real standout is Heybourne, who was absolutely terrible in his other films.

		We're told of a massacre of American soldiers at Malmedy, in Belgium, six months after the Normandy invasion; Nazis opened fire on U.S. prisoners and most were killed, but four were able to lose themselves in the surrounding forest.
		These five soldiers are ordinary people; well, the Americans are, although the Brit seems odd to them, and they don't always appreciate his sense of humor.
		Steven Gould (Alexander Niver), the medic, is the obligatory soldier from Brooklyn who is required in all World War II movies, and Shirl Kendrick (Lawrence Bagby) is the equally obligatory farm boy from the South.

	Saints and Soldiers (DVD) - Review - The Real Saints of War
		SAINTS AND SOLDIERS is an independently made war film which proves that verisimilitude and emotional impact in the genre is not entirely the province of Hollywood.
		And that is where the film Saints and Soldiers comes in and tells the story further.
		The opening shots of the film are of the captured American soldiers, there are some bloody scenes that are filmed very well, some men escape into the woods, the story of these men and their lives unravel slowly; the characters are magnificent and there are funny moments, sad moments and some really thought provoking scenes.

		The real story is the camaraderie that develops between the soldiers (not without some difficulty) as they face life and death situations together.
		Allred plays the role of Corporal Nathan Greer, a young LDS soldier who is a dead-eye shot and whose comrades-in-arms have given him the nickname of "Deacon" because of his clean, upright lifestyle.
		Saints and Soldiers opens this weekend in Utah and if it does well in its opening weeks, Excel Entertainment (which also distributed God's Army and The Other Side of Heaven) intends to push it nationally, much like they did with The Other Side of Heaven.

		"Saints and Soldiers" is a gripping account of four soldiers who escape the brutal Malmedy Massacre in December, 1944, during the Battle of the Bulge.
		Saints and Soldiers is an absorbing film, not only because its story and message are good, but because it was shot independently on a shoestring budget and still manages to look like the biggest commercial war films the studio system can offer.
		Saints and Soldiers was greatly helped by German military reenactors and the advice and stories of American veterans.

	Saints and Soldiers - Faith & Film - The Journey with Jesus
		Four American soldiers are trapped behind enemy lines, and when they are joined by a stranded British paratrooper they realize that they have vital information that they must smuggle back to the Americans.
		One of the soldiers, Deacon, a former missionary, speaks German so fluently and without an accent that he gets them past Nazi soldiers.
		The film does humanize the soldiers, though, including a sympathetic Nazi, so they are thus not only warriors but also saints.

	Meridian Magazine :: Arts : Saints and Soldiers Sweeps Film Festivals
		On Dec. 17, 1944, German soldiers opened fire on a group of unarmed American prisoners near the Belgian town of Malmedy, killing 86 of them. Saints and Soldiers follows the story of four of them who escape into the freezing woods, without food and armed with only one German rifle.
		The script was not based on a particular true story, but vignettes and pieces of stories, many of them taken from a recent oral history project where LDS soldiers were interviewed on their experiences in World War II published as the book Saints at War.
		The Saints and Soldiers producers appealed the decision and they won 7 to 6, but you have to win 9 to 4, so the decision held. Finally after weeks of worry and appeals, Saints and Soldiers was tweaked just enough to move in the PG-13 category while maintaining its unsanitized look at war.

		Can this rag-tag band of soldiers succeed?The most intriguing subplot of the film is that Deacon, as a result of sleep deprivation and war trauma, seems to gradually becoming unhinged.
		The acting and cinematography both manage to capture the ambiguity and starkness of these soldiers’ cold reality.Unfortunately, the script and plot drift into a sentimentality that the movie’s imagery avoids.
		Perhaps worst of all, there is an exchange between an American and Nazi soldier that is supposed to demonstrate the better angels of human nature, but instead ends up feeling unbelievable and naïve.

	Saints and Soldiers (DVD) - Review - Saving Ryans privates.
		Saints and Soldiers, set in WW11, adheres to that movie code religiously that soldiers in war are some how gallant for what they and no one else gets killed.
		Its post D-Day and the coalition forces are grinding their way through Northern Europe, cutting off retreating German forces, establishing bulkheads etcBut allied troops have also encountered resistance and it looks like the Germans may even muster a counter attack to delay the advance of US led pushes to Berlin.
		So if that was a big success then why not make the movie, which although ‘Saints and Soldiers’ is not connected with the TV mini series, it is effectively just that.

	Saints and Soldiers
		The character-driven narrative of Ryan Little’s first feature film “Saints and Soldiers” begins with a horrific Nazi war crime, the infamous WWII “Malmedy Massacre” resulting in the murder of 80 American soldiers captured by SS troops during the initial phase of the Battle of the Bulge.
		Is a soldier someone committed to doing something and goes out and does his duty to the letter of the law?
		This is the ongoing struggle -- continually heightened by the smaller conflicts between Allied soldiers fighting for the same cause, yet all faced with the larger obstacles confronting them, including shell shock, sub-zero temperatures, gnawing, constant hunger and sleep deprivation that disorient soldiers in ways few can imagine.

	Gritty WWII drama 'Saints and Soldiers' gets plenty of bang from its low-budget
		But the most recent entry in the cycle, "Saints and Soldiers," does just fine, thank you, with no stars, a small budget and low-tech scenes that evoke the grittiness of the WWII B-movies of the '50s and the old "Combat" TV series of the '60s.
		The title characters are a handful of GIs who, some by playing dead, manage to survive the Malmedy Massacre: a true incident during the 1944 Battle of the Bulge in which German soldiers slaughtered a large contingent of captured American soldiers near the Belgian town of Malmedy.
		The script's single flaw is that it relies on a coincidence involving a German soldier who amazingly turns out to be a boyhood pal of one of the Americans.
