...The all-star DAY holds up as a respectable portrayal of the event...
USA Today
[This epic] takes a comprehensive, quasi- documentary-style look at the Battle of Normandy, dramatically depicting the invasion from the perspectives of both Allied and German forces.
USA Today
A solid and stunning war epic.
