Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

It is a performances centric movie

What begins as a feel-good-human-interest story turns into a mystery, then a tragedy, and ultimately an outrage.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Where do I begin? The unrealistic training? The Dolph Lungdren doing his "French" impression? This movie should of never been made. I am so surprised how much money is wasted in movies like this. You know the plot in the first 2 minutes ("Windtalkers" for example) where a ranking officer gets his men killed, along with his best friend. Then he gets demoted, then has to command a ragtag group, I mean come on. The acting is terrible, the impressions are laughable, the script is dreadful and another thing, they smoke a crazy amount. 4-5 smokes every minute, when they are running, talking, training, dying. This movie just shows what people will do for money. I don't what else to say, the movie in all is just boring, repetitive, dull and uninteresting. You will walk away from this movie either aggravated or so stoned you forgot what happened.

When the best thing in a movie is Dolph Lundgren's performance, well, there you go, you have it.Poorly written, shot, acted. Sets, costumes and props are amateurish at best. What is an army Major (Mickey Rourke) during WWII doing sporting long hair and a cowboy hat? I gotta to tell you, this guy needs to stop bringing his own wardrobe to set.A waste of time. I did not even finish it. No.

This movie was not that great at all. It seemed like it was going to be a great one because of the cast and the preview, but it instead turned out to be a slow paced boring war movie.It was pointless to have big movie star names in this movie such as Dolph Lundgren and Mickey Rourke. With both of their talents, it should have set a higher bar for this movies story line and outcome. Their presence was weighed down by some of the smaller named actors in the movie.For those who are expecting an action packed war movie, then this is not one that will fulfill those entertainment needs.

"Saints and Soldiers: Airborne Creed" director Ryan Little has made his fourth World War II combat film with "War Pigs," but it doesn't surpass his earlier "Saints and Soldiers: The Void." Basically, Little and scenarist Steven Luke, working from a story by Andrew Kightlinger and Adam Emerson, have appropriated two of the biggest World War II studio releases with one from the 1970s. "War Pigs" opens with our hero, Captain Jack Wosick (Luke Goss of "Blade II"), leading Sergeant McGreevy (Chuck Liddell of "Kick Ass 2" and his men into a debacle. All of his men die, but he survives. Wosick believes his orders were screwed up. Officially disgraced, Wosick suffers the loss of a bar until Major A.J. Redding (Mickey Rourke of "The Expendables") shows up and offers Wosick the chance to redeem himself. The plot about the captain leading his men into disaster is reminiscent of Clint Eastwood's officer in "Kelly's Heroes" who had lost this bars because he led the wrong attack. Major Redding wants Wosick to take a squad of G.I.s behind enemy lines to obtain information about a long-range German artillery piece that has the potential to wreck deadly havoc onto Allied lines. Wosick getting stuck with a group of misfits recalls "The Dirty Dozen," and he has to whip these guys into shape for the mission. Finally, because they are checking out the big German gun and ultimately wind up destroying it, "War Pigs" evokes memories of the Gregory Peck movie "The Guns of Navarone. At least, Little and his writers draw from the best Twentieth Century combat films about World War II. Little and company add a French Foreign Legion officer to diversify the heroic line-up, and Dolph Lundgren has his own reasons for hating the Nazis as Captain Hans Picault. Most of the combat occurs in the first part of "War Pigs" and in the last half of the movie. The middle of the movie concerns the efforts of Lieutenant Wosick and Picault as they get their misfits in shape for their objective. Wosick goes head-to-head with his new non-com, Sergeant August Chambers (Noah Segan of "Looper"), who abhors officers as much as orders. Eventually, they reconcile themselves to each other, and our heroes embark on their mission. The big problem with "War Pigs" is they spend a lot of time talking before they finally swing into action. During their first encounter with the enemy, Wosick is knocked unconscious when a Nazi potato masher grenade lands nearby, and the Germans capture not only Chambers but also Preacher (Stephen Luke), while Picault and his men stop a Nazi vehicle and kill all the soldiers. Picault has no choice in the matter when a German tank officer spots their hidden American jeep. Meantime, the German patrol that surprised Wosick takes their two prisoners to their headquarters where the huge artillery piece is situated. The interrogation that follows gets pretty rough, but the Americans survive this encounter. Although they have only been ordered to draw a sketch of the gun, Wosick changes their orders. Picault and his men masquerade as Germans and Wosick joins them in a Nazi uniform. Aside from too much talking, the other problem with "War Pigs" is that none of our heroes dies during their foray against the enemy. Everything is too good to be true. Indeed, Picault is wounded, but he survives. Significantly, Picault has to fire only one tank shell to destroy the huge gun. "War Pigs" qualifies as a routine World War II movie with a happy ending. In a sense, "War Pigs" hearkens back to the propaganda combat epics made during World War II that depicted Americans as indestructible. Mickey Rourke makes a strange Major with a Stetson. The Utah scenery effectively substitutes for Europe.
