Thought this beaut was the Gene Hackman film. Oops wrong.
Even several large whiskys while watching couldn't disguise the quality of this picture. The editing was very poor but the bit that stuck out for me was in the battle at the end, where the heroes whilst escaping and mowing down scores of hopelessly poor enemy marksmen, stop to have a earnest chat over something. Strolling nonchalantly along tete a tete, all shooting stops, even the enemy, while the heroes parley. Then suddenly realising where they were recommence the battle killing scores more enemy. Never knew you could call time out in a pitched battle. Never saw a rifle magazine changed and even hits on canvas tents were making sparks and flashes.
This film should be age rated. Not suitable for anyone over 12 years old
