Micitype Pretty Good
Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
gergelyh-15596 This is an okay anti-war movie, well watchable once. (If you can overlook the fact that the only surviving copy seems to be a bad-quality grainy digitalization from Italian TV.) It directs attention to a lesser-known face of war, the possibility that you can be left alone with your memories for a relatively long time (which is maddening) and also to a well-known aspect, the cruelty towards civilians -- but this is one that cannot be repeated enough. There are some remarkable views, as the timeless, sunny riverside rocks and Fred Robsahm plays the hero well (but nothing to write home about). The air of 1969 is strongly perceptible all the time, which is not necessarily a good thing as we are supposed to see and feel 1945 here.This could have been better as a short. At this duration a lot of scenes feel too long. The whole film is slow: sometimes the high-tension kind of slow but often plain boring.Some Norwegian and Swedish viewers seem to have distorted the rating here, which is now at 9 stars -- that is ridiculous. I'd say this movie is approximately as good as Werner Herzog's Signs of Life, the American Hell in the Pacific (1968) or the Japanese Fires on the Plain (1959), maybe the recent British "1971", all between 7 and 7.5 now. For some strange reason even the very best of war films do not score 9-10 at IMDb. Even Das Boot, Apocalypse Now, Ivan's Childhood and Come and See do not reach 9 at this moment -- and this film is clearly not in the same league!
abbbe-91 First of all i would like to point out that this is no ordinary film, Even though it merely is a composition of a standard 60s movie it has that special you are looking for!I'm quite stunned myself that this movie isn't as noted as it should be, maybe because it hasn't gotten any professional reviews or that it simply didn't make it as far in movie-making history as other films that rivaled with this one.I find it marvelous that i still can find movies like this one and still enjoy epic movie-making in my own home. Watch it! It is simple, simple but special.
b2403632 This is one of my favorite movies in the world! I totally love the action, love scenes, the hit and run scene, and the car hunting scene. Totally awesome! ;) But to all parents, there are some scenes that aren't that suited for kids, but only a few.On the forum where I use to hang around, we got a big thread about this awesome film. I think I'm gonna buy it again, for it's awesomeness.I just have to say that my favorite action scene is when the protagonist attacks the big jeep. And then the girl kicks his balls. ^^ Lol, so awesome, I really like his reaction.// Rune from Norway/Sweden
stiliga Heinz Prulier (Fred Robsham) is the German soldier stationed as a sniper in a tree overlooking his own army. When he falls asleep, his troops are gone and he is left alone to defend the incoming enemy invasion. Flashbacks recall his wartime experiences and his transition from a human being into a sadistic murderer and rapist. He encounters a prostitute and a giggling girl in this violent feature that reveals the deterioration of human values in the face of the grim realities of war.This movie had it all; Great scenes,great acting and a beautiful storyline. No wonder that they were nominated at the Cannes Film Festival.You are really missing out on something if you decide that you don't want to see this movie. See It Now, it's freaking brilliant
