Good actors, the dialogues need polishing, nice story for Tarantino.
Much better than the other Reviewers say.
I'd watched worse for sure. This is a nice small story in WWII.

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.

I thought this film was well done - had solid cast, camera work et al but lacked any unique or memorable aspects and was rather weak as a story. The idea that deadly enemies suddenly trust each other seems unrealistic, but the story hinges on it anyway, making the end a double disappointment for me. If you miss this one you're not missing much :)
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.
The story: a small group of American soldiers are searching for Nazi gold, during the last days of world war 2. They have to fight till the bitter end though to find the gold. Will they find the gold and get out alive?
Upon first look this seems to be a B-movie, with B-listed actors. But looks can deceive, because this is a rock solid, tough, original, well acted war movie. And I have seen A LOT of war movies in my lifetime and I really appreciate this new edition, for what it is: straightforward action, WITH good dialogues and good acting performances.
8 stars because of these good acting performances combined with this gritty, bleak story, which is captivating and suspenseful from the beginning till the end. Definitely an unknown war movie gem!
Not anything bad? This is NOT a glorifying war movie. It's nasty, ugly and everybody is following his lowest and meanest impulses. NOT a happy end either. And there is a powerful female action character that first seduces and then kicks the men around. If you are not into these things, then you might wanna pass it by...

Did you know
- TriviaA pretty common and erroneous mistake people make is thinking that the Army Air Forces was called the Army Air Corps during the war. On June 20th, 1941 the Air Corps was renamed the Army Air Forces. American servicemen started to refer to it as the Air Force, or Army Air Forces, not the Air Corps.
- GoofsWhen the Germans are approaching the cemetery, one if them is riding a motorcycle with a Wehrmacht (army) plate WH-72172. An SS division motorcycle would have an SS- plate.
