YOU HAVE TO LOVE THIS MOVIE!

This is a 10 star event! It was based on actual events and I could see no acting in this movie. These guys, and 2 girls, make you feel that you are truly watching a real, live, event as it is happening. The sound track is also very well done. In surround sound you can hear the bullets whizz by. GREAT JOB all around and I don’t care if you are a man, woman, or child, it will bring tears to your eyes!

Not just a movie about war – the real message is love

Saints and Soldiers is one of the very best LDS-made movies I’ve seen so far but not one that I would recommend for young children, although 8 and up might be fine. The realities of war are definitely there, excluding vulgarity and nudity. The music, drama, and acting are all well done and not cheesy or patty-cake like some previous LDS movies.

It introduces the theme of LDS men serving opposing sides of war and the brotherhood that can cross the lines of the battlefield. But to me, the real impact of this movie comes as it does in all great moments, when an individual rises above himself to save another – something akin to the atonement. The particular soul worth saving provides yet another layer to this message of love – something that really made me think and feel. Very well done!!!

Wow

Although I am not a fan of war movies due to the crude language and violence, I enjoyed watching this movie. I purchased it after seeing a making of the film clip between conference sessions. The characters were compelling and the music added to the feel of the movie. I would recommend it.

Great Movie!

This was such an enjoyable movie. It was not overly powered by an LDS theme and what it did have was quite limited and pretty discreet. The movie is intense and has some pretty funny humor within it as well. All around, one I would recommend.

5 stars!!

Great movie! The ‘LDS theme’ of the movie was not over-powering. It perfectly fit faith into the story. It is very easily a great film on it’s own merits. The filming is great, and it’s touching to see the struggle that the characters go through. A must own.

A must have for those who like independent drama movies.

This movie was ahead of the pack in popular independent drama / comedy movies of today.

It is well made and follows an easy to follow plot line. It allows you to put yourself in the place of various characters and enjoy the lessons shared.

5 Stars!
