Not Peckinpah's best, but still a Wonderful film

Rating: 10/10 (6 April 1999)

This is a film that pumps raw emotions into the viewer, like a typical Peckinpah. There is no manichaeism, no "good guy" or "bad guy", no one is really good or really bad, everyone is just trying to survive. But no one is free from preconceptions. Perhaps one of the best dialogues in film history is the last exchange in this one: -"I will show you how a Prussian soldier fights" -"I will show you where Iron Crosses grow"
