A fine war/commandos film

Rating: 8/10 (25 December 2002)

MY RATING- 8.1
This was a blockbuster about 12 murderers who have the chance to redeem theirselves training hard to destroy a nazi castle. Their briefing man and chief is the tough major Lee Marvin. I absolutely love his scenes with John Cassavetes! The mov is really thrilling, not only the training part but also that brilliant climax of the attack to the castle. We actually struggle as they in the hard training sequences. With an all star cast- Ernest Borgnine, Robert Ryan, Charles Bronson, Donald Sutherland, George Kennedy and a little and brilliant performance by Telly Savalas. Well, I adore war movs, but also commandos type, like this one and the castle part looks like the game Commandos.
