In Enemy Country

I am not fond of war movies, especially spy war movies; except maybe 36 HOURS, which is riveting, unlike this one. This is not a bad film, but it brings no surprises at all, only an acceptable directing work. I would have prefered to watch another film, for instance a western, as the last film from Harry Keller, one of the best Universal Studios western specialist. In this kind of spy war films, you can prefer Anthony Mann's HEROES OF TELEMARK or Michael Anderson's OPERATION CROSSBOW, both made three years earlier. Only the bittersweet ending is really unusual and worth. In most movies where the lead character loses his gal, his best friend, his brother or parents, and after he has killed all the bad guys, everything gets fine for him again. He smiles, laughes, seems to have forgotten the missing persons. For the happy ending. Rubbish. Here, it is unusual and more realistic and moving too. As SNABBA CASH series ending.
