Well, surprisingly enough I did mostly liked this movie. Of course I
recognize it as a cheap and original one but it still does plenty of
things well and does offer some decent entertainment.
Perhaps I just liked this movie because this is the sort of movie I
would had loved to have made with some of my friends. It's a low budget
WW II production, that still has a good look to it and has some pretty
neat little details in it as well.
Thing that definitely is still holding this movie down is its story.
It's a very simple one, that besides it's being far from an original
one. Another thing about the movie and its story is that about halfway
trough the movie feels wrapped up already. There was no need for the
movie to go on for as long as it did and some of its moments definitely
feel stretched out.
You also never really get into any of the movies its characters, so
it's definitely not being the most involving movie to watch. I honestly
don't remember any of the character's names and really don't know who
dies and who survives, at the end of the movie. Seems like they had
some pretty good character ideas but none of it gets developed well or
properly enough in the actual movie.
The action is all filmed well enough, though it certainly is nothing
too exciting. Just some firefights, with always the predictable
outcome. It still entertains good enough all and makes sure that the
movie never becomes a too slow or boring one, though the movie still
most definitely has its slower and boring spots.
Really, this movie is not half as bad as some people try make you
believe it is. Or perhaps it just happens to be so that I have seen far
worse genre movie already and therefore am being quite mild toward this
one. But just judge and see for yourself. Changes are you might end up
liking it good enough and are able to enjoy it for what it is.
5/10
