Cast: Scott Martin, Clint Glenn Hummel, Andreas Lyons, Dennis Lavelle
Here's something I haven't seen in many a moon: a WWII movie that pits good 'ol cigar chomping G.I.s against leatherclad Nazis while the bigger theater rages in the background. Battle Force is neither in the vein of a sweeping epic or over the top borderline satire; it's straight meat and potatoes entertainment, and sometimes, that may be all you need for a good time.
Battle Force is loosely based on a real special forces unit of American and Canadian soldiers whose job was not that different from, say, a bunch of reputationally compromised children from unmarried parents. They do the nasty jobs, the suicide missions, the ones where extreme force is required.
The film takes place in 1943, on the eve of the invasion of Fascist and Nazi occupied Sicily.

ABC’s General Hospital leads the way with 23 nominations for Daytime Emmy Awards.
The television academy announced Wednesday that the venerable soap opera will compete with NBC’s Days of Our Lives, CBS’ The Young and the Restless and the canceled All My Children of ABC for best daytime drama. NBC’s The Bold and the Beautiful has won the trophy three years in a row but wasn’t nominated this year.
Other repeat winners are possible, though: Ben Bailey of Cash Cab was nominated for best game show host and Dr. Mehmet Oz as best talk show host.

As tensions become increasingly heightened in the heat of battle, trust becomes not only their hope but their fear as well. Are their allies really who they appears to be?
Originally titled Battle Force and obviously renamed to cash in on the famous video game franchise, Battle Recon: The Call to Duty is a low-budget affair that looks like it...
