Review

Lush color photography! Great action scenes. Adult approach to the pressures of the soldiers. To read my "Video Risk" of this and 5 other FOX War Classics click here.

The Disc

My favorite of the older war films in this series. Great picture and sound. I had the lowest expectations going into this film and was very pleasently surprised.

Picture Quality: 10/10
Lush color photography. Read my "Video Risk" review for detailed discussion of the great picture. No pixilation. A few scratches which are due to the use of real war time footage in a few scenes. It has a gritty look that I like.

Sound Quality: 8/10
The sound is very good too. I just wish it had be remastered into 5.1 surround sound. Listen to the roar of flame throwing tanks!

Menu: 10/10
Easy to navigate. Good use of photos from the movie.

Extra Features: 2/10
Nothing but trailers. I like trailers. I'm sure there are some archived publicity reels in the Fox vaults for these and the other films in the series.

The Final Word:
Well worth the price of admission for the movie alone.
