Briefly, this film is a historical fiasco because there is no known historical sources, and is not only incoherent but rather deliberately distorts even the most indisputable facts, such as dates and so on.

I can add that the fantasy erotic scenes that fill this ridiculous film are likely to captivate the attention of the mass audience, but make a huge disgrace to the memory of the German thinker and his two companions of intellectual adventure, in first place. It is painful to note so little interest to base this story on facts rather than daring to invent so many situations that are unimaginable. The most obvious example -aside creative liberties, all associated with a simply incredible sexual frenzy-, it may be recalled that Nietzsche stopped seeing Salome in 1884, while he had his breakdown, which resulted from that moment in madness, only in 1888. Suffice it.

Pardon my language, but I do not speak much English.

Crap. Dynamite and more dynamite, but no real drama. For those who believe that war is like a western, here are their heroes. But war is not. And in this film there is no single historical reference.

Does knowing handle explosives to give more "drama" to a movie entitled to replace an effective war story? Why this film is - supposedly- set in Russia during WWII? The filmmakers have simply sought excuses to prove they are capable of using more dynamite that has been used in any other movie.

And the drama course is simply stupid, if not entirely child. Admittedly Maximilian Shell makes a very good comic role as the Nazi general in search of his iron cross. But the problem is that the film is not intended to be a comedy. He always tough Coburn, meanwhile, leaves much to be desired as ever when it comes to acting variations. Mason, meanwhile, does a good job in comedy. That's all.
