This movie worked for me

Rating: 10/10 (3 January 2004)

I liked it a lot and I'm hard to impress. They don't make them like this anymore. I'm a Clint Eastwood fan and this is a good Eastwood picture. I even like the film's hypnotic blue-ishness. The music is cool too. Its not a film that you would take all that seriously, and if you do, you're wasting your time with this. You will just annoy others with your complaining about the improbability of much of the story. I've read that of all Eastwood's flicks, he kills the most people in this one. That alone should make it "must see" for any normal red-blooded American. I especially love the scene where Eastwood walks into a room where one Nazi stands guard and another sits at a desk. Clint (Lt. Schaffer) is carrying a suitcase (full of weaponry) and calmly says "at ease", sets the suitcase down on the desk in front of the guy, says "Hello", opens the suitcase up, takes out a gun and shoots the guy in the head. That scene always makes me chuckle. You have to have a sense of humor about these things. Anyway, I highly recommend the film. Its one of my all-time favorites.
