Very enjoyable (and funny!) war adventure film!

Rating: 9/10 (9 March 2008)

When Kelly (Eastwood) discovers a gold bar in the possession of a high-ranking German prisoner, he takes it upon himself to discover if "there's more where that came from". And boy, is there!
Kelly handpicks a few confidants which can help him retrieve this massive amount of Nazi gold being held in a small town behind enemy lines. Most everyone is easily convinced to join the effort when Kelly flashes his gold bar in their face with the promise of 14,000 more. It also helps that their commanding officer has given them 3 days of rest while he steals a Yacht (LOL!) and transports it (over land!) back to Paris! Along the way, the rogue group develops in to a veritable Army battalion, including "Oddball", a "positive vibes" hippie tank commander played hilariously by Donald Sutherland.
There's lots of fun and excitement to go around as we follow the gold-seekers across the enemy countryside and into the little town and its bank which is guarded by 3 very intimidating German tanks.
This movie never takes itself too seriously, and so we forgive many of the unrealistic scenarios, and just enjoy the ride! The film is equal parts a war film, comedy, and adventure. Great entertainment, great cast, and lots of fun!
