Saints and Soldiers: Airborne Creed

Three American paratroopers jump into southern France as part of Operation Dragoon during World War 2. They are dropped behind enemy lines and way off target. In an attempt to reunite with their unit, they must dodge constant Nazi patrols, helping the French resistance along the way. The war will bring them face to face with their fears as they try to hang onto their humanity amid the brutalities of war.

ClearPlay In Action!

There is no sex or nudity to worry about, and the muted swear words are limited to the H word for the most part. This is a war film, but a relatively tame one as far as violence goes. Expect some skips and jumps here and there, but nothing like you’d get with the likes of Saving Private Ryan. Filtered, this film is appropriate for teens.

Should I Go Airborne?…

This follow up to the well done and successful Saints and Soldiers has more action than its predecessor but is inferior in every other way. Fortunately, you will find a good message about mercy and humanity that is worthwhile. Unfortunately, none of the actors have enough charisma to spread over a piece of toast, and the plot is just a random series of encounters in service of getting from point A to point B. For a more satisfying World War 2 experience, try the original Saints and Soldiers or something more involved like the excellent Band of Brothers.
