Well written adventure

Rating: 8/10 (27 August 2012)

If you have not seen this film you are in for a treat. Do not watch it believing you can sit back as it is just an adventure film. You have to pay attention to fully enjoy the sub plots. The plot is a group of men trying to release an American General held captive in a German castle. The General knows the Allies war plans so has to be freed before the Germans make him talk. Like all films it is easy to pick holes, most probably the biggest hole is at the mission briefing at the very start of the film. A character suggests bombing the castle to stop the General talking. That would be the logical response to the situation but if they did that there wouldn't be a film! So as with all films you have to give it a bit of slack. In summary it is a great film that I have watched many times.
