[Luke's] writing is thin and tends regularly toward platitudes, with characters spouting wisdom like “the cards have to fall where they fall.”

Come Out Fighting is an excruciatingly awful World War II combat movie that is an insult to history and an insult to anyone who was a part of this war. It's hard to watch this junkpile movie's visual effects, dialogue, and acting, which are all terrible.

4/5

Fans of World War II action/dramas are sure to enjoy this film. Set at a comfortably brisk pace, Come Out Fighting gives viewers some insight into the real-life 761st Battalion.

A movie about the contribution of African-Americans in WWII could be both important and stirring. Come Out Fighting is neither.

2.5/5

Come Out Fighting has good intentions but struggles to be rousing and cinematic. Moments of genuine camaraderie are muddied by low-budget visual effects, questionable editing, and poorly defined, generic Nazi antagonists.

It’s no Saving Private Ryan but it’s entertaining. Clunky in parts, but its heart is in the right place. Think more Kelly’s Hero’s. I’m not a pedant for correct detail as it costs so much to produce and the CGI was ok. I liked the tie in at the with the Red Tails. The treatment of black soldiers in period boils my piss. A good evening spent watching this.

Just Awful. Poor script, weak storyline and not very special effects. Avoid at all costs.

The trailer sold me dreams — gritty war drama, badass cast, some good ol’ action. What I got was an 86-minute hostage situation with Tyrese looking confused, Michael Jai White wondering where his career went, and Dolph Lundgren staring into the abyss like he too couldn’t believe the script. The acting? Wooden. The writing? Laughable. The production? I've seen school plays with better set design. This isn’t a movie. It’s a cautionary tale. Avoid like a pothole on any bad road on a Sunday night at 80km/h.

That has the be the worst movie ive ever seen the acting was horrible. The cgi im sure was made by a 6thgrade class if lucky. Theres a scene where one of the men is firing a 50 cal Yet the bullets are coming out the belt feed as if the 50 is loading them into a belt not shooting them its totally in reverse. I wouldnt have been suprised to see them take out the tiger tank at the end with a hand gun it was that bad.

A movie better not made. The plot is ridiculous, the characters simply cliches. Nothing hangs together and at times it appears that the characters are not aware of the plot as it has unfolded. The initial air combat scenes and two subsequent sequences involving Mustangs and ME/BF109s are the only parts worth seeing.
