Bizarre, funny World War 2 film

Rating: 4/10 (1 January 2006)

'Kelly's Heroes' is a World War Two film about a group of soldiers who go to steal Nazi treasures, and they fight the Germans along the way. It's got battles and comedy, and it's a pretty good film if you're just after some military-related fun. It also has a pretty good soundtrack with the song "Burning Bridges". It's certainly a different take on a war film, and there isn't another film quite like it. (Sure, "Big Red One" was another comedy World War 2 film, but I think it lacked the substance.) The insane character (I forget his name as it has been a while since I last saw this) is very funny, and there is some good fun with Germans in the film too. The only problem that I had with the film is that it moved a little slow, and it's really a film about the comedy than it is a masterpiece. As a film, it's about average. If you like war films, you will enjoy it, and you'll enjoy the humour too.
