Review of Cross of Iron (1977) by Blackity B — 20 Nov 2008

This is an ok war movie that never really comes to a specific point. The action scenes are a bit outdated, though the bigger problem is that they disrupt the dramatical flow of the story. There are some interesting conflicts and tension between the characters, but they are never deeply explored.

Also not a lot is done with the German point of view this story possesses, which is a big missed opportunity as there aren't a lot of movies like this. It has a solid base, but needed more development.
