When RAF pilot dangling in parachute guns down German soldier with pistol (which does not look much like the kind of sidearm RAF pilots might carry anyway to me)

I groaned...yeah, right. Happened all the time..shot-down pilots dangling helplessly in trees opened fire on enemy infantry troops on ground below them..it would make sense to do so.

I persevered a little longer...kid's initial meeting with hiding in convenient hunting foxhole RAF pilot was just as ridiculously choreographed..'hands up...turn around slowly ..." lol..
that looked more like an episode of COPS where they are busting a carload of Homies after a high-speed chase.

sorry, a few minutes later, I gave up...if ending improved , that's a shame for me, because first half of movie lost me so badly I ejected and put it back in case..I certainly could not see signs of a 7/10 imdb review for it at that stage, it is too ridiculous.
too many younger day video gamers are writing today's war movie scripts, I feel..obviously EU movies are as bad or worse than US made ones for this issue.

Sorry you didn't like it. You uninformed idea that younger video gamers would write the script for this movie is way off. This movie has more thoughtful dialogue and a very good plot instead of a lot of action.

As far as him finding the hideout goes. He could have been rescued and shown the hiding place. We don't know how it might have been done, but we do know that he has been provided a supply of food AND had plans to get to Zwolle with Dirk's assistance.
