Murder Company is a very basic, moderately watchable, WWII action flick. In spite of the presence of Kelsey Grammer, this is very much "B grade" material. The bare bones story offers little lead in or resolution. The narrative and characterisations follow the same, simple trajectory. That's not to say its not watchable. Taken for what it is, its a fun, exposition driven action romp, that mostly, gets it right (not sure why German ammo crates would have English written on them?...oh well...). In summary, Murder Company is a B grade WWII action flick. Its not dreadful just don't expect any Saving Private Ryan moments and you'll be fine. One for a slow afternoon or evening.

World War II drama where the action centers around a single maneuver by a squad of GIs in retaliation against the force of the German Siegfried line. Reese joins a group of weary GIs unexpectedly ordered back into the line when on their way to a rest area. While most of the men withdraw from their positions facing a German pillbox at the far side of a mine-field, half a dozen men are left to protect a wide front. By various ruses, they manage to convince the Germans that a large force is still holding the position. Then Reese leads two of the men in an unauthorized and unsuccessful attack on the pillbox, in which the other two are killed; and when the main platoon returns, he is threatened with court-martial.
