Could have been better

Rating: 5/10 (12 February 2014)

Nearing the end of World War 2, a group of soldiers are on a mission to go in enemy territory and retrieve stolen art that the Nazis have stolen.
The 1940's setting is not bad, and the look of World War 2 also looks very real. But George Clooney has director with everything else pretty much falls short. Although George Clooney and Cate Blanchett are pretty good. But Matt Damon performance does not do much here. And Bill Murray half the film looks like he's recovering from a hangover, John Goodman is alright, but that's it. There is no real exciting building up to anything. For the most part it feels less a film and more like a friendly get together. Trying to be The Guns of Navarone(1961) or The Dirty Dozen(1967) but it just does not quite get there, even though it is based on a true story.
