The Monuments Men

The Monuments Men is based on the true story of an unlikely WW II platoon which had been tasked to rescue works of art which had been stolen by the Nazis and to return them to their rightful owners. While this film is no Saving Private Ryan or Schindler's List, it is unabashedly heroic and without cynicism. The characters are well drawn and human. There is comradeship, humor, and pathos. Definitely worth seeing.
