Saints and soldiers the void review

The film is appropriate for young teens and up. There is plenty of war violence, but most of it is bloodless and none of it is gratuitous. There are a couple of very mild profanities, a flatulence gag, and one use of the “n-word” (used to display the bigotry of one soldier). As it is, The Void is still worth a watch.ĬONTENT OVERVIEW: Saints and Soldiers- The Void is rated PG-13. With a bit more focus in the storytelling and polish in the casting this could have been as excellent as the first Saints and Soldiers (2003). Director Little continues to display a talent for action sequences as well as quiet, intimate moments of decency. The opening credits, a combination of newsreel footage and aggressive animation, are quite impressive. Danor Gerald in the lead role, as well as Studio C’s Matt Meese in a dramatic turn that proves he’s got broader range than expected. Thankfully, the central performances are all good, especially by K. The film’s good intentions are diluted somewhat by a meandering screenplay, too many one-dimensional characters, an overload of expository dialogue, and supporting actors who fail to convey the necessary urgency.
