646f9e108c Five American soldiers enter Nazi-occupied Europe on a covert assignment to kidnap the head of Operation Bernhard. Most of what I would say has been said by other members in their comments.<br/><br/>Only thing I would add is the huge oversights in the sets. The barracks high in the Austrian alps in 1940's have metal frame windows…. possibly aluminium. I would imagine that they would have been wood frame back then.<br/><br/>In one scene, you can see two large propane tanks in the background. I am betting the barracks set is a summer camp, resort, or roadside motel.<br/><br/>In one scene, a barrack has a #2 on the door. In another scene, presumably at a cabin at a distance from the barracks, there is a #3 on the door. Again, indication of a resort or motel.<br/><br/>There is also in the cabin scene, what appears to be a steel-insulated door commonly used in residential construction in the modern day… the standard 6-panel design. Would a cabin in the alps have such a thing?<br/><br/>Effects were so incredibly weak. <br/><br/>Do yourself a favour, skip this one. I don't know what the producers were thinking. Great movie if you want something to laugh at. I jumped a way through while my dad was watching it and we had the same consensus right off the bat. At first I thought he was watching a comedy sketch on youtube, but alas, we weren't so lucky. <br/><br/>Yes, it is low budget. Yes, it is definitely bad acting. But the thing that got me was the utter ridiculousness of the military strategies. From dodging 50 caliber machine guns to dropping your weapon on a box of money in enemy territory. Apparently if you run half a mile away from soldiers chasing you, its OK to hide behind a log and scream at each other. And if you find yourself a high ranking official taken captive, don't worry! Just tell a convincing backstory and claim you're a double agent. They'll be takin' orders from you in no time. <br/><br/>Anyways, yeah, while all the reviews say this "isn't worth wasting your time" and "just skip it", I found that I enjoyed my time watching it, not in the way they were probably going for, but its still good fun!
