Not sure what to make of this fast-paced and violent gore-fest produced by impresario JJ Abrams. On the one hand, it is a quasi-horror film set in middle of Nazi Germany during the fiercest fighting of WWII. Om the other hand it kind of meanders a bit, especially in the first 30 minutes trying to set up what ends up being a not-entirely-satisfying final act, where the, ahem, monsters appear. On the other, other hand the cast of mostly unknowns is pretty good. On the other other other hand the plot is almost impenetrable. Some not-so-evil Nazi Doctor from Central Casting is doing some unexplained experiments on French townspeople, turning them into 1000 year soldiers? Say what? Meh.
