Dreadful

Rating: 2/10 (31 December 2013)

Here's two hours of your life you'll never get back. Painfully, agonizingly slow. A super long gabfest with precious little action. It sticks reasonably well to the overall big picture of Operation Market Garden but it sinks underneath the minutia of the script.
Too many long, dull pauses, aimless dialogue over story points that carry little if any impact to the major story lines.
Worse yet it is horribly cast. Who in the world thought Gene Hackman would make a fine Polish colonel? His ridiculous attempts to speak broken English is painful to hear. Almost as bad as Bogart trying to play a Mexican Bandito.
Brutally bad.
If you have a choice between watching this stinkburger or having your fingernails ripped out by mobsters, pick the mobsters. At least there's action and a good story.
