Violence as entertainment - pretty awful

Rating: 2/10 (21 November 2013)

This movie is all action with not a whole lot of intelligence. Violence is worshiped and glorified for the sake of exciting the audience. I saw no redeeming values and nothing I could learn from it. The scene of pouring gasoline over German civilians (men and women) was the highlight of disgusting.
I like war movies that are well done and have something to say. "The Longest Day" had violence but it was portrayed accurately in historical context. This movie was pure fiction with a storyline created purely to push gory violence. No wonder Lee Marvin refused to do any sequels as he also thought it glorified war to an unnecessary extreme.
Some of the acting was very good and the only reason for my 2 stars.
