criticism
"Elaborately illustrated, simple-minded and useless war film in the style of the notorious Landserhefte.", Notes the lexicon of the international film Cinema.de, do not give director Lenzi good hair, because he has "shot everything in his career that is cheap and lousy." "A lot of bullets and explosions, unfortunately hardly a plot," sums up the DVD & Video Guide 2005.
