Review of The War Devils

It begins with Allied commandos being dropped behind enemy lines to attack a fortified German gun position in a desert mesa on the eve of a big push. Through circumstances the allied and axis soldiers end up having to band together to survive. Later in Europe two of the men end up on opposite sides of a battle once more. Some technical problems aside (obvious day for night shooting that's so bad its day and some black-face on the actors playing Arabs) this is a very good, very action filled film. The film moves along thanks to the action and to some good characters that you actually care about. I liked this a great deal. I do want to give a word of warning, there is a point about half way in when the film ends its time in the desert and it really seems like the film is over. The feeling is increased by a sudden jump cut to the snowy mountains of Europe . Watching the film last night I thought something was wrong with the DVD and that the film had had another been edited into the second half of the film. Its not a mistake. There is a very different second half to the film. Stay with it. Its worth it.
