PeaceAnarchy | 75 44th |

Solid and entertaining, if a little unremarkable. The story's fine though the film could be paced much faster without losing anything, which would increase the tension. Everything else is ok too, not a lot of depth but nothing much to complain about.

Like PeaceAnarchy said, not much to complain about but unremarkable on the whole.

Damn good WW2 adventure film. Another example of how it pays to have a really good script before you start shooting

the roaring adventure parts are so riveting that im left a little bored when there's nothing super adventurous going on. entire cast does a great job, especially peck although niven really pulls it all out in his scene near the end and pretty much steals the show right then and there out from under peck.
