If you see this in the video store, walk on by! Horrible movie! Bad acting. Absolutely weird and jarring editing. Commandoes? No! They are just a bunch of inept regular soldiers.The movie uses old WWII footage to build a back story throughout movie as filler! Even spells Hitler wrong on a newspaper article in beginning (spelled as Hilter). They must have gotten a tax credit for passing 85 minutes or something.Ridiculous plot - the amount of phony money shown would not damage a major Allied economy, but might have helped make this movie better if they had spent some of it!After the credits (why I finished the movie, I don't know) you are treated to a Sad Sack-like cartoon (voiced by Mel Blanc of Bugs Bunny fame, which was cool) about keeping secrets so the enemy (in this case, the Nazis and Japanese) will not find out. Do not rent or buy.

When I was young I bought my first car which was very inexpensive. The purpose of this car was to get me to my destination. On my journey I didn't have much money for food, gas and motels. I ate cheap and slept cheap and certainly didn't drive a Cadillac, but I did get where I wanted to go.The same can be said of this picture. With a limited budget, there were not the magnificent sets as seen in 'Saving Private Ryan' or mega star actors like Brad Pitt or Tom Hanks, and certainly the script could have been better written.Having said that, the film maker did arrive at his destination also. No, not in the style to which we are accustomed. We should evaluate each film based on the story and budget and not base our criticisms on comparisons to benchmark mega-budget films. This artist painted a fair portrait given a limited pallet of colors.

This has to be the "Cr*p" (not even going to call it a film!) that you use to judge a films ratings when your getting near the bottom....this is the very bottom!! Man I watched it for free and even then after the first few moments I was looking for the off switch. I'm just so glad I'd not eaten prior to watching otherwise ....well you can guess! The few props used must have been borrowed from some WW2 club which had insisted they not get dirty or damaged....and the uniforms, well looked to me like the wardrobe had hit the local Jumble sales..awful! I don't know any of the actors personally or what work they've been doing previous to this but all I can assume is they were all skint and needed the money (if there was any??)... I am serious now, I really have seen better acting from 10 year olds with spud guns down the woods!!! I have tried so hard to find even the smallest thing about this film that could merit anything near 1 star and all I could come up with was the trees in the landscape, they were the only thing living in this mess. So Best actor go's to the Oak tree behind the cabin and best supporting go's to the pine by the track, well done guys! How you stood for so long while this was going on around you God knows!!

I have no words for describe this movie....The actors are very bad, the script is awful, the music was made with a Bontempi keyboard and recorded in the toilet.. Not or very bad special effect made with a Commodore 64...Historically, this absolutely does not hold the road, they are supposed to be SS soldiers and to them uniforms are a mixture of Wermacht and of anything, the leader carries shoulder pads of Russian uniforms..The German Soldiers are stupid and fat, not very the type of the Aryan Race..the movie is stuffed with useless stock shoot, put only to fill and give a semblance of realism..if you want to waste your time and your money, it is the film which you need..The film director would better make to go back on the benches of a school of cinema before taking out another horror of this type. How is possible it to spend 500'000 dollars to make such a bad film, it is really to do the money by the window..This film is a complete s***...Greeting of Fulci
