Hell Hath No Fury

War..combat..explosions..greed...evil.... Nazis.corrupt G I s....a woman without a dress...tunnel rats....skeletons,,,grave robbing...charming French accents....love.....freedom fighters...the underground.... How can you give a movie with all this 1 or 2 stars?

Competent acting, a decent plot with a few surprises, nice music, good cinematography. This is a decent flick.

Every movie i check out anymore has the exspert critics to remind us that this movie is a rippoff or borrowed stuff of another movie or similar.. So WHAT...if it's entertaining to me doesn't matter... not looking for perfect movies if they even exist.. everyone trying to out-critic the other person like it's a mission. It's a movie not a science exspiriment that has to be disected frame by frame...either like it or you don't. Don't have the time anymore to read all the Rodger Ebberts takes on every movie here.

I watch movies to be entertained. Was I entertained? Yes! Occasionally a movie comes along that stands hands and shoulders above the rest and will score 10/10. This movie doesn't, but it wasn't intended to. The production, direction and acting all knew what was required of them on a low budget. Did they achieve that. Yes they did. To reiterate, "I was entertained". And that's what movies are intended to do! To many so-called expert critics forgetting about entertainment and looking for flaws! Why do people just try and relax and stop looking for perfection and Oscar winners? If it's not for you, move on!

I have no idea what people are smoking or drinking to give this movie a high rating. Seriously, someone found this erotic? Wow they must be desperate for a date because there was nothing erotic about it. I don't have any complaints about the characters or some decent visuals. But the whole movie seemed like it was a rip off of much better movies and just seemed far too unrealistic. There were far too many flaws to overlook. It was a very poorly executed and paced movie. As others mentioned, explosives that did very little damage and bombers that drop full loads with barely a scratch to the terrain. This honestly wasn't even worth the watch. I would have been better off watching The Dirty Dozen again instead of this nonsense.

It was a decent low budget production. When I first saw the utterly ridiculous low overall rating at 3.7, I flipped over to see what the professional critics thought on Rotten Tomatz (88%), so I'm glad I did.

Sure this is no epic Hollywood big budget war film, but is well casted and acted, especially Mandylor and Murphy as the battle-worn and ready American fighters, and Bernhardt as Von Bruckner. The alluring little rocket Nina Bergman was great until the cemetery acts; she either over-acted or looked angry all the time, for no reason. But her performance overall was noteworthy.

The cinematography was excellent and the directing great. The writing by the two amateur writers was lacklustre for the most part, with many plot and technical issues. The 94 min runtime screenplay needed many cuts and edits. It was too long for the barely climatic and too-short storied screenplay.

Yet still, for pretty much a one location set, low budget B film, it's a good one time watch. It's a well deserved 7/10 from me.
