'Overlord' stirs up World War II horror cocktail
"Overlord" is a decided throwback -- an old-fashioned "B" movie cocktail, mashing together a perilous World War II mission, horror and science fiction, against the historical backdrop of saving D-Day. On the most basic level, it works as an action vehicle, even if the bare-bones plot lacks the ingenuity to sustain its promising start down the stretch.
