To be honest, I wasn't really sure what to expect from this flick but since there was a really neat cast involved (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, thatโs for sure. Indeed, it turned out to be a very solid WWII thriller and, for once, the main characters were the Nazis and not the allies and, in my opinion, this approach was terribly refreshing. Of course, like every decent human being, 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 did get another perspective on this conflict. Furthermore, I really enjoyed the actors involved especially Michael Caine who was terrific as usual. Ok, I have to admit it, the story was nothing really mind-blowing but I thought it was a decent WWII thriller and I was entertained throughout the whole thing. Anyway, to conclude, I thought it was pretty good and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
