....I really enjoyed this script. The characters were believable, the dialogue  was good....

....Overall very good, I'm glad I got to read it.....

....Though war movies are an acquired taste for many, I've always enjoyed the genre. It's so easy for a writer to be gratuitous with the violence while abandoning all attempts to give characters some depth. For the most part, you did not make this mistake.

.....One of the strong points of your script is the pacing. It's nice and swift, never drags on like you might see in oh, say, The Thin Red Line. You set a tone and intensity right from the get-go, ripping a plane to shreds with flak. Was also a nice way to introduce Major Patrick.....

....Without giving away plot twists, there's a nice distinction amongst the characters....

....My favourite scene: Patrick's insistence that the children be protected. The contrast of war with compassion for children works extremely well in war movies, as we saw in Saving Private Ryan. The Nazi allowing them to pass -- nicely done.....

....I'm almost embarrassed to admit it, but you fooled me before the Third Act. Won't give the plot away, but I suspect you know what I'm talking about :).....


.....- dialog was strong and vivid....

....I think you've put together a well-paced, interesting story that -- if directed properly -- could be a solid war flick. A job well done......

....This must have been satisfying to write.....

....This story had a great concept behind it. A skilled soldier leads a team to kill Hitler. Creative obstacles/events include the Hitler body doubles, traitors, dummy grenades, unskilled tank driving.....

 

....As far as the story goes, it was pretty interesting. I liked the whole idea of trying to kill Hitler ....

 

.... think this is a script with a good concept .....
