All a great war film should be.

Rating: 10/10 (15 June 2006)

With it's staring cast of Richard Burton and Clint Eastwood this World War Two subject film was already off to a flying start. Add to this some wonderful scenery, a plot with more twists and turns than a ride at a theme park as well as what has to be one of the best and most stirring soundtracks of any movie and you have a fantastic film. An excellent supporting cast further bolsters the films professional air. Alistair Maclanes excellent novel provides the plot for the movie and the film is just as thrilling as the book. The final fight is a real cliff hanger. A must see for fans of the genre and now available on a DVD so that you don't have to wait until Christmas to be able to see it.
