An odd, but often enjoyable film.
Pretty much anything with Danny Dyer in it will be preposterous, and ultimately he is, and the film is.
Pretty much anything with Sean Bean in it will have its moments - and this does.
The low budget works for a film that operates on an intimate level, the broad sweep of war is for another time.
The supporting cast is pretty good, the Nazi commando hunters suitably teutonic and sadistic. For aficionados of the war film genre, there is plenty to enjoy. The big problem is that the film just ends. Had they run out of ideas? Script? Money? Running time? We will never know.
Cheer on Bean's valour, laugh at Danny Dyer, and you will be happy.
