When a GI platoon lands on the beaches of Italy during World War II, the troops face uncertainty and danger with every step. Those who survive the initial landing, including Sgt. Tyne and Sgt. Ward, pursue a mission to take control of a farmhouse and blow up a nearby bridge. When the soldiers are not involved in enemy engagements, they pass the time in conversation while marching through the Italian countryside, but they always keep their objectives in mind.

A war film that, in my opinion, lacks substance when it places plastic soldiers in the same predictable trenches in the sunlight. [Full review in Spanish]

3.5/5

Overall, "A Walk in the Sun" is a unique World War II film that is both thought-provoking and compelling to watch from scene to scene.

...a quiet mood piece, lyrical and elegiac, more than it is an action adventure. As such, it works wonderfully well.

Wasn't my cup of tea and the California filming distracted. Very gutsy endeavor though.

One of the best WWII films.

I have to say that I found this film a bit boring. I know it's supposed to be pondering its own navel, and introspective, etc. but even the dialogue was boring. The action scenes were quite good but not good enough to save this film.
