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.
