It’s a metaphor.
I’m equating the number of games of pool with the number of films I’ve seen. Do you really need this explained to you?

I really want to see this. Looks right up my alley but I get to so few movies at the theater I will probably have to wait for home video.

Saw it tonight - loved it. It’s around 2 hours long but didn’t feel it - paced well, and they made you care about the characters.
I’m not a horror fan, so this was more action movie than horror. I mainly went due to the WW2 setting.
If you’re a fright fan or gorehound, I’ll be honest and say I’m not sure if you’ll get what you want from this movie. It’s still a fun watch, but want to temper expectations.

Just got back. Yeah, it was entertaining. It was like Saving Private Ryan meets WII: Zombies (COD).

Enjoyed the hell out of this one! Hopefully, this has legs because it's one entertaining film and the cast was fantastic!

A very well made genre flick. It wears its B-movie exploitation cred proudly without delving into self-consciousness or camp. Gritty, rough, but fun as fuck. 4 out of 5.

Saw it last night. I enjoyed it. When they're in the compound it's got a Resident Evil (game, not movie) vibe I really liked.

Saw it Friday night with my daughter and we both loved it... non-stop action. It was like watching a video game (Wolfenstein)... I can't wait to see the adventures of C Company.

My son and I saw this today and we both really enjoyed it. There was a building sense of dread starting right from the beginning and it just stayed throughout. Almost gave me an uncomfortable feeling (but in a good way for a movie).
I have to deduct a couple of points for the silly part at the end where
Otherwise, very enjoyable. And I keep thinking I recognized the blonde dude in it, couldn't place him and finally figured out that he had to be somehow related to Kurt Russell. Give that guy a movie series! He has every bit the charm of his father.

This was B movie entertainment at its finest. Cheesy but super fun. I was engaged the whole time.

Very enjoyable. That one shot at the end when the dude is running through the tower explosion was awesome.
I wonder if they leaned a little more B movie, would it have been even better? It does play it pretty straight.

I saw a late matinee yesterday. Loved it. Fun and intense. Good mix of WWII action movie and horror movie. The opening sequence with the planes was freaking intense. That was a pretty terrifying sequence and I couldn't imagine being in that situation for real. For the Pilots, it was basically a suicide mission. And whoever did the sound mix for this did a hell of a job. The theater I was in was literally shaking with all the explosions in that sequence.
It was a pretty good ensemble cast for a mostly no name cast.
It was weird hearing Fitz from Agents of Shield speak Americanized english. His morphing sequence was pretty cool.

I couldn't place him but knew he was familiar... he played the QB (Zook) on 22 Jump Street.

Thankfully, this was still in theaters. Initially, I wasn't sure I wanted to see this in the theater. Based on comments in this thread, I decided to give it a shot.
I thought it was very well done. It's good that it had Bad Brains behind it. Great production value. Thanks for everyone's recommendations. Except for Mabuse.
