“The Point Of No Return” (** out of four) was a cumbersome WWII melodrama about a dwindling group of German soldiers (Mhairi Calvey, Chris Wilson, Laura Jean Marsh, and others) who have to overcome personal and physical dangers and complexities to return to their battle lines on the harsh Eastern front. Some scattered effective moments and magnificent cinematography are offset by film’s overlength at nearly two hours and uneven pacing. Many familiar with this time period in history and veterans from WWII may find film more stirring and involving but there have been many other better WWII films prior. A middling effort from veteran war producer/writer/director Rick Roberts. other better WWII films prior. A middling effort from veteran war producer/writer/director Rick Roberts.
