This review works best if you have seen this film before, though that is not required. Spoiler alert
Background on this film. Saints and Soldiers: The Void is a war film directed and written by Ryan Little, and is the third installment in the Saints and Soldiers franchise, following Saints and Soldiers and Saints and Soldiers: Airborne Creed. The film stars K. Danor Gerald, Adam Gregory, and Matt Meese. The Void was the most expensive of the Saints and Soldiers films due to its use of tanks. It was filmed in Alpine, Utah. The film received mixed reviews with some critics calling it a "riveting drama" and some critics stating that more focus on writing and execution would have improved the film. In some countries the film is called Saints and Soldiers: Battle of the Tanks.
Conclusion Saints and Soldiers: the Void highlights a small town Mormon filmmaker who borrowed some nice military toys and wanted to film a few Return Missionaries playing army in the woods using all the cliches from hollywood blockbuster war movies. The best that can be said about this film is that I appreciate the statement it made about the evils of racism.
