During World War II, North African troops encounter bigotry and unfair treatment from their French comrades-in-arms, despite the fact that they bravely fight for a country they have never seen. Some, like Abdelkader (Sami Bouajila), believe that fighting for France is the only way to achieve equality, but Martinez hides his Arab ancestry and treats his men poorly.

Critics Consensus

Days of Glory is a powerful historical epic that pays homage to a valiant group of soldiers whose sacrifices have largely been forgotten.

Instead of guys named Danny and Polack and Sol and Brooklyn, you've got guys named Said and Yassir and Messaoud and Abdelkader. But it's the same deal. Prick them, do they not bleed? Blow them up, do their limbs not scatter and their guts not spill?

3/5

Its message is dimmed by a procession of war and race movie clichés that even the excellent cast and epic cinematography cannot revive.

7/10

An exquisite look into a rarely examined aspect of WWII, full of behavioral examinations and informative messages.

As a war movie "Days of Glory" is competent although not extraordinary. But if you like war movies you'd be crazy not to watch it.

All the upright morality in the world doesn't compensate for poor filmmaking.
