VHS Movie Reviews of The Lost Battalion [VHS]
Movie Review: action packed
Summary: 5 Stars
A very well acted movie about a little known event in World war One involving an American Battallion. Excellent character portrayals and well staged battle scenes .Movie Review: Nothing Special
Summary: 3 Stars
I think this is a good movie; yet it lacks anything special. It is centered around one story and lacks any further insight into WWI. If your purpose is to show an example of certain aspects of WWI this would be good; not much education further on WWI.Movie Review: The Lost Battalion
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent World War I movie that is based on actual events. I was VERY happy to get this movie because with all the looking around for it that I did, Amazon.com was one of the only places where it was actually available. If you like war movies, this is one movie to get. I think one of the next movies I get from here will be Sargeant York. I hope Amazon.com has it in stock.Movie Review: Lost Battalion delivers.
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are a fan of the war genre or just love a good tale than this movie delivers. Rick Schroder leads a strong telling of the story of one American Battalion in WW1 that earns glory by its conduct while surrounded by the Hun. War is not glorified but honor, loyalty and friendship are. Worth every penny.Movie Review: Excellent Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great movie about an amazing group of men that should never be forgotten. Anyone that appreciates history or heroism will enjoy this story.
Summary of The Lost Battalion [VHS]
It began on October 2, 1918, when the men of the U.S. Army's 77th Division, 308th Battalion were surrounded by German troops in the Argonne Forest. Without food, water or reserve ammunition, cut off from supply and communication lines, and subjected to constant assaults and bombardments, they managed to hold off the enemy until they were finally rescued after five days of desperate action. This A&E Original Movie brings their harrowing ordeal to life. Directed by Russell Mulcahy (Ricochet, Highlander), THE LOST BATTALION stars Rick Schroder (NYPD Blue, Crimson Tide) as Major Charles Whittlesey, the civilian-turned-soldier who won the Congressional Medal of Honor for keeping his outnumbered troops alive and fighting in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.The true World War I story of an American unit that was surrounded by German troops and pounded mercilessly for days (at times even by its own artillery) is vividly portrayed in this made-for-television film starring Rick Schroder. Playing a patrician New York City lawyer commissioned a major and sent into combat, Schroder commands a battalion composed of New York wiseacres as well as so-called "apple knockers" from the West. The plot is straightforward (and will be familiar to those who know World War I history), but the film rises above what could have been a clich?d telling of the story of Major Whittlesey and his heroic men. The action sequences, shot tightly with hand-held cameras, owe a debt to Saving Private Ryan, and the surreal horror of World War I, in which armies killed with machine guns yet communicated by carrier pigeon, is conveyed very well. --Robert J. McNamara
