Plenty of action in this film but it took a good 10 minutes before I realised who these soldiers were - I wasn't sure whether I should be cheering or jeering them.
There was no attention paid to any of the characters which means I didn't really care about what happened to them. We weren't even given their names.
Good choices in the music apart from in one scene where a vicious Doberman attacks a soldier while a lush romantic score reaches its gushing climax! That got an unintentional laugh out of me.
Elsewhere, the pace often dragged - surprising considering this is an action-heavy film. Some scenes could have been trimmed quite significantly.
But mainly, it's the setup of the characters and story that would have made this a much better film.»
