Lack of budget

War Raiders is standard WWII fare: a group of rag-tag G. I.'s are sent on a mission deep into Nazi Germany, resulting in a montage of them walking through the woods, reading maps, radioing back to HQ, etc. They are presented with obstacles to overcome by working together through our group of G. I.'s going through the Forming > Storming > Norming > Performing cycle you often see anytime the protagonists are described as a "rag-tag bunch."Mark Polonia gets what makes a war movie good, and knows the beats he needs to hit. His usual actors are there doing their usual thing, which is fine. We also get the usual shots of the college Mark works at doubling as Allied HQ and the Pennsylvania woods near Mark's house as rural Germany.However, Mark's basement, which fans have grown to know and love throughout his films, is not present here. If you're a fan like me you can draw his basement floor plan from memory. You know which shelf the Tide sits on, and if there's only a single jug left you consider emailing Mark to remind him to pick some more up on way home.Sadly, this film just didn't do anything for me. Where it stumbles is in the lack of budget. It's hard to make a big-concept historical war film without spending a lot of money on historically accurate sets, weapons, and uniforms. And he tried, he really did, but it just doesn't work out.

Funny for the first 3 minutes

It opens with a guy in a "uniform" (everyone's dressed completely randomly) that looks like it came from a fancy dress store, shouting "nazi scum" and "I'm gonna kill more Krauts" and goes downhill from there.

A lot of the props are toys and the helmets look like upturned flowerpots. The reviewer who gave this 10/10 is probably the directors mother.

Watch the first few minutes for a laugh but move on quickly!
