Review of War Pigs (2015) by Chuntse T — 25 Mar 2016

â??War Pigsâ?? wants to be â??The Dirty Dozenâ??. No, it wants to be â??Inglorious Basterdsâ??! It spends its entire runtime just trying to find an identity. Unfortunately, its cast of stunning action stars isnâ??t enough to muster in the muck. Luke Goss and Dolph Lundgren get the steal a bit of the spotlight, while Mickey Rourke spends most of the film looking lost. But, itâ??s a macho powered World War II movie!

Unfortunately, thatâ??s not enough to climb over the low points of the film. The camera work is shakier than a Greengrass disciple on the low end of his Topamax. The film plays like every other Eurotrash clone thatâ??s been aping Hollywoodâ??s war output since â??Kellyâ??s Heroesâ??. It is violent, wants to be edgy and yet never has a point.
