Here’s a trailer for a low-budget cheesy World War II action thriller titled Murder Company, which is based on actual events.
The story is set in June of 1944. “With the US invasion of Europe hanging in the balance, Allied commanders issued a top-secret directive that would send six men behind enemy lines to assassinate a high-value Nazi target.
“A mixed unit of soldiers from the 82nd Airborne, comprised of men from Easy, Able and Dog Companies, was joined by a lone member of the French Resistance.
“Their mission has never been officially acknowledged, and there is no record the unit ever existed. But those who were there gave it a name of its own: Murder Company.”
The film was directed by Shane Dax Taylor and it stars William Moseley, Pooch Hall, Gilles Marini, Joe Anderson, and Kelsey Grammer as General Haskel.
While I think this is a great story, and I like the title, telling that story wasn’t executed very well. Unfortunately, the movie doesn’t look that good.
Maverick & Complex will release Murder Company in select US theaters and on VOD on July 5th, 2024.
