Something or nothing

I've just watched this on the Fast32 streaming service. Very ordinary as war films go, though there's the novelty that it's about a Marine team that films combat action, sometimes with little regard for their own safety. Did they really use those clunky stills cameras?

The love interest was contrived, and I was unconvinced that the footage they took behind the lines would have been of much use.

John Hodiak and Stephen McNally do well enough.
