Featured review
Ok it's a rip off of kelly 's heroes, but it 's worth the view if you like Belmondo
The actors are good (Belmondo play Belmondo..) the photography is good, the music too (the theme is simple, but it's ok) the scenario is well written on the beginning, and has is flaw after.. The characters are well written, the dialogs too.
The only thinks that really bother me is, the cheapness of the movie : The cannon shots on the tower, with no impact, just some wood and dirt on the top for simulate the explosion The dummy's on the ground for the legionary etc... there is a lot of small thinks like that ... The outside/inside scenery are sometimes ok, but it is use too much... half of the movie is take place on the same areas... There is a lot of flawless in the scenario, way too simple things that are not explain or develop (it's is war time remember ...) but it's a comedy I guess ... a comedy with a lot of death that nobody really care in the movie...
I enjoy watching it, it's funny sometimes, the end was not particularly good in my opinion, but I like how the movie can do such drastic choices in the middle of it.
