I have to say I did only buy this as I saw it on sale quite cheaply but I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's a proper low budget shoot 'em up set during World War II, a kind of low rent version of the Dirty Dozen. The plot is a little bit messy but there's plenty of things going on so you never get bored. There is a real sense of fun about this which sets it apart from the current trend of war movies to be very 'war is hell' and I found that quite refreshing. It gets four stars from me because I thoroughly enjoyed it. The extra feature with Tarantino interviewing the director of this is quite fun too.
