Downfall

APRIL 1945, A NATION AWAITS ITS... DOWNFALL

In April of 1945, Germany stands at the brink of defeat with the Russian Army closing in from the east and the Allied Expeditionary Force attacking from the west. In Berlin, capital of the Third Reich, Adolf Hitler proclaims that Germany will still achieve victory and orders his generals and advisers to fight to the last man. When the end finally does come, and Hitler lies dead by his own hand, what is left of his military must find a way to end the killing that is the Battle of Berlin, and lay down their arms in surrender.

    The soundtrack was the highlight of the film. Unfortunately, the rest of the movie fell flat.

    Way too long and dragged out. It had potential, but it lost me halfway through.

    An absolute snooze fest. The pacing was terrible, and it felt like nothing ever happened.
    Rating: 1.5

  • Cohen Richard
    A visual spectacle with an epic storyline. The special effects were mind-blowing.
    Rating: 4.5

  • Ariella May
    Boring and uninspired. I struggled to stay awake, and the characters were forgettable.
