The Review: Overlord



Overlord 8/10

I decided to check out the movie Overlord. I know it came out last year and all I knew was that it took place during a war and that it got crazy at the end. Yeah. It does. This movie was tense as fuck. From the very start we meet a group of soldiers aboard a plane during WW2. The thing I like about war movies is that characters are what they are and it is easy to see who is who. Anyone creative (writer, photographer, or artist) is gonna die. The guy that talks shit is gonna have to prove he can back it up. The silent one is terrifying and may turn on the team. These guys have a mission to cut off Nazi communications the day before the beaches of Normandy are stormed. They are cruising along when planes are shot down and they are hit. Our main character Boyce seems terrified by everything all around him before jumping out of the plane, almost drowning, and then landing in time to see his sergeant slaughtered.
