Goofs

At the end of the film when the last German soldier is shooting at Lt. Hoffmen, he fires several continuous shots with a Mauser bolt-action rifle, without moving the bolt after each shot. It would be impossible to fire a bolt-action rifle without moving the bolt after each shot to eject the spent casings.

User Reviews

zzzzzzzzzzzzz

This is an action war film. That means it should be exciting.

WRONG! The director makes a fatal flaw in showing limitless action scenes with no direction, no character, no logic, nothing. This looks more like an arcade game that people pass up, because no one cares. There are constant fighting sounds and warfare, and the dialog is beyond corny. It is cliché after cliché.

To be honest, it is totally boring. How hilarious that all this action is put together for nothing. It is very hard to stay awake while watching this, so I give it a 2 instead of a 1 because it might cure your Insomnia.
