I wasn't sure what to expect from this flick but with such a cast (Michael Caine, Donald Sutherland, Robert Duvall, Donald Pleasence, Anthony Quayle, Treat Williams, Larry Hagman), I was definitely eager to check it out. Eventually, I wasn't disappointed. Indeed, it is a very solid WWII thriller and, for once, the main characters were the Nazis and not the allies and I thought it was terribly refreshing. Of course, like every decent human beings, I'm horrified by what the Nazis did but WWII movies tend to be so black and white when in reality, I believe things were more complicated. Anyway, this time around, the main characters were the Germans and, as a result, you get another perspective on the conflict. Furthemore, I really enjoyed the actors involved especially Michael Caine who was terrific as usual. Ok, I have to admit, the story was nothing really mind-blowing but I thought it was a decent WWII thriller and I was entertained throughout the whole thing. To conclude, I thought it was pretty good and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you lik the genre.

7/10
