Barth’s story is enjoyably twisty, filled with surprises about all the mischief that Elsa’s neighbors have been up to during the war; and Thorwath’s direction is dynamic without going too far over the top.

It’s predictable but tightly staged and well paced, and if you’re scrolling through the streaming platform looking for something fresh, it’s not a bad choice for switch-your-brain-off entertainment.

Western, action and black comedy are combined in a way that has guilty nods to Quentin Tarantino. More than a sign of weakness, it is in some way a strength. Here there is no choice but to put your brain on stand-by and enjoy it.

This unabashedly trashy project from director Peter Thorwarth has its moments of invention and excitement in the early going, but the constant spray of bullets and body parts proves numbing.

Nice movie overall with good actors and good script. It's not the typical action war movie but it manages to make your time worthwhile.

Although it has far superior dramatic dimensions, most of the time I felt like I was watching a sort of sister movie to Sisu. I'm all for seeing hordes of **** being annihilated by any means possible, but it's also necessary to admit when the formula becomes redundant and consequently trivial. Tolerable but aiming more towards irrelevant.

Well filmed and acted, but there is not much to act out. The script is badly written, the costumes unconvincing, the setup and plot are lacking and quite boring. Everything feels forced and only the cartoonesque evil of the antagonists enables the protagonists to succeed at anything. The movie was clearly made by someone with no clear understanding of the ****, war, the SS, fighting, combat, weapons and many other things, all of which are unfortunately the centerpieces of this creation. Don't waste your time with this. 3 points for the acting, camera and lighting. 0 points for most of the rest.
