I like the classic Partisan films, made in the 70´s in Jugoslavia. They brought us: Neretva, Sutjeska, Partizanska Escadrilla, Valter brani Sarajevo; all very fine movies. But with low budget, few equipment you can´t turn s*** into gold! And that´s the result: a Western-like war film, made on an afternoon with boring plot!

LAST TRAIN TO BERLIN is another Yugoslavian WW2 film depicting heroic partisans battling against the Nazis during WW2. This one is about them trying to stop a key rail supply route and the heroics that play out as a result. If you're reminded in that description of John Frankenheimer's classic THE TRAIN, then think again, because this isn't in the same ball park. If you've seen one Yugoslav WW2 movie you've seen them all and this is no differnet. Expect gloomy wintry surrounds, static camerawork, the most boringly depicted action sequences you can imagine, and a stock American actor, Ty Hardin, present and down on his luck.

Basically, this is a Clint Eastwood style spaghetti western set during WWII in Yugoslavia with Ty Hardin and bad camera work. Even the music sounds more like Spanish/Italian than Slavic. Poor quality transfer, poor dubbing, poor dialogue... just poor. Maybe Hardin was bored... or in debt. Any way you cut it, not a good outing for him. Because it's free, I've given it two shots now, but still haven't made it past half-way. Just not worth the time.

This movie was dumb, a stupid poorly made war film. It was a piece of garbage.
