Blood and Steel (1959)
** (out of 4)
WW2 film produced by Gene Corman so that should tell you that we're dealing with a low budget. Four American soldiers wind up on an Island help by the Japanese and must find a way to get off. This film actually looks a lot better than it should due to the low budget but in the end it really doesn't offer anything we couldn't see elsewhere. The cast, including a young Brett Halsey, are pretty good with performances that won't win them Oscars but they're worthy enough for the film. There are a couple good gunfight scenes and there's some nice visuals captured in the scope frame but again, we've seen this type of film countless times.
