Sam Peckinpah outdoes himself...AGAIN!

Rating: 10/10 (16 June 2015)

WHEN HAS SAM Peckinpah EVER DIRECTED A BAD MOVIE...OR, EVEN ONE THAT WAS 'JUST O.K?' "NEVER!" This is probably the best World War II movie ever made! As far as effects and story go, this movie even gives "Saving Private Ryan;" "A Bridge Too Far;" and, "The Longest Day" a run...and, they are all "PERFECT" movies, too! This is just a terrific war movie with a lot of action; but, it's also a great and deep story of military corruption, lying, manipulation, and, of how the rich and privileged so easily take advantage of the poor and unprivileged and bully them because they're vulnerable.
Although this movie is of and about the German Army in Russia during World War II...in many ways it's about "all armies;" and, about many corporations and businesses that have nothing to do with war at all.
It's really about human nature and about who can get what from whom; and, whom can get what from who...by throwing their weight around.
THIS IS A GREAT MOVIE! :)
