Spoils of War

I have no words for describe this movie....

The actors are very bad, the script is awful, the music was made with a Bontempi keyboard and recorded in the toilet.. Not or very bad special effect made with a Commodore 64...

Historically, this absolutely does not hold the road, they are supposed to be SS soldiers and to them uniforms are a mixture of Wermacht and of anything, the leader carries shoulder pads of Russian uniforms..

The German Soldiers are stupid and fat, not very the type of the Aryan Race..

the movie is stuffed with useless stock shoot, put only to fill and give a semblance of realism..

if you want to waste your time and your money, it is the film which you need..

The film director would better make to go back on the benches of a school of cinema before taking out another horror of this type. How is possible it to spend 500'000 dollars to make such a bad film, it is really to do the money by the window..

This film is a complete s***...

Most of what I would say has been said by other members in their comments.

Only thing I would add is the huge oversights in the sets. The barracks high in the Austrian alps in 1940's have metal frame windows.... possibly aluminium. I would imagine that they would have been wood frame back then.

In one scene, you can see two large propane tanks in the background. I am betting the barracks set is a summer camp, resort, or roadside motel.

In one scene, a barrack has a #2 on the door. In another scene, presumably at a cabin at a distance from the barracks, there is a #3 on the door. Again, indication of a resort or motel.

There is also in the cabin scene, what appears to be a steel-insulated door commonly used in residential construction in the modern day... the standard 6-panel design. Would a cabin in the alps have such a thing?

Effects were so incredibly weak.

Do yourself a favour, skip this one. I don't know what the producers were thinking.

(This is the forth time I've tried to add a review for this and have dubbed it down on each occasion, please find it in your hearts to finally allow this to be posted as a warning to the masses)

The worst film I have ever bought (on holiday no access to internet to review). I cannot believe the overall rating is so high, on further investigation find that of the 27 people who voted 11, yes 11 (close family friends and actual actors in said film no doubt) gave this pile a 10. These people must be found and their IMDb accounts closed.

The costume department must of had a frenzied afternoon on ebay getting all the uniforms together and the script seems to have been written by a 10 year old who still plays war using a finger for a gun running around in his back garden making machine gun sounds and flinging his arms out pretending to be an aeroplane.

The only credit I can give to the "actors" is that they're obvious internal cringing was very well hidden whilst having to actually deliver that drivel.

I feel a better film could of been made by burning $499,800 of the budget, buy a cheap camera for $100 spend the rest on strong lager and film yourself mucking around with some mates for a couple of hours.

Regards and don't watch,,,,, you have been warned.

I heard that the way they got the Chimpanzee's to look like they were talking in the PG Tips advert was to give them Peanut Butter...I'm convinced the same tactic was used with these 'Actors'.

I have never seen such a ridiculous film in my life. The DVD case gives it the look of a fairly average film priced at £8 when I bought it. Now I feel like I've funded terrorism or organised crime by purchasing such a dodgy film. If I went out by myself into the woods with a phone camera and a toy gun I would still make a better film than this...

Even when me and a friend was drunk and put this film on we could only bare the first 5 minutes. It made me want to take a rusty spoon to remove my eyes.

Whoever was responsible for this film, I hope you feel ashamed and consider another career, possibly rice picking in Cambodia far far away...

Bad acting, bad everything. They must've had 2 dollars to make this movie and everyone in it worked for free. The so called English soldier in the group had an awful fake English accent. Every now and then you could hear his American accent fall in. The German's spoke horrible German. We turned it off after watching for about 20 minutes. Don't even talk about the special effects. Cartoon like fires when bombs went off. During a close quarter gun battle, thousands of shots were fired, but no one is hit. We were surprised that it took twenty minutes for us to realize how bad this movie was. I guess we hoped it would get better and go somewhere.
