Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

FeistyUpper If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

zardoz-13 The execrable, low-budget World War II thriller takes place during the twilight of the Third Reich when a squad of U.S. Army soldiers and a lone British soldier masquerading as Germans are parachuted behind enemy lines. Ostensibly, they have been dropped into Austria to kidnap a high-ranking S.S. officer who is actually a double-agent. At the same time, our heroes are ordered to destroy of a stash of counterfeit cash that Hitler's boys have printed. This money is so real that it fools our heroes when they eyeball it for the first time. Initially, our heroes have no problem eliminating the German soldiers and taking the S.S. officer. Indeed, they have it too easy, but one of them--the Englishman--spots several crates of funny money and cannot get it out of his mind. He hates fighting for the peanuts that he is getting and dreams of going home wealthy. During combat, U.S. Army Captain Eberhart (Preston James Hillier)catches a bullet in his side, and our men retire to a house in the snow-swept woods so they can bandage his wound and he can recuperate. The Englishman (Russell Whaley) convinces two other guys to go back to the German bunker and liberate the cash. Predictably, things go awry for them and the Germans outnumber them and capture them. Meanwhile, S.S. Officer Von Weschler (Christopher Karl Johnson of "Atlas Shrugged, Part 1") decides to help them out. He takes one G.I. and they wind up rescuing our guys and the Englishman from a Nazi firing squad. Von Weschler and the three soldiers rendezvous with the transport plane sent to retrieve them. Everybody gets away but most have acquired keepsake wounds for their efforts."The Spoils of War" combines elements of two Clint Eastwood classics: "Where Eagles Dare" and the top secret mission behind enemy lines to rescue a high ranking officer and expose a cabal of double-agents and "Kelly's Heroes" about a bunch of G.I. who disobey orders, plunge behind enemy lines and steal a fortune in gold bars. Unfortunately, while the premise isn't entirely awful, "The Spoils of War" lacks everything: the acting is abysmal, the special effects are grade-Z, and the plot unravels when the three Allied soldiers go back to get the money. It is difficult to imagine what the filmmakers were trying to do. The only thing that looks authentic is the snowy landscape. The Nazi adversaries are push-overs from fade in to fade out and the characters are one-dimensional nobodies.Unless you love World War II movies and plan to suffer through the good, the bad, and the ugly, you should skip "The Spoils of War." Worse than anything else, our heroes don't take home any of the loot.

samson_andrew I heard that the way they got the Chimpanzee's to look like they were talking in the PG Tips advert was to give them Peanut Butter...I'm convinced the same tactic was used with these 'Actors'. I have never seen such a ridiculous film in my life. The DVD case gives it the look of a fairly average film priced at £8 when I bought it. Now I feel like I've funded terrorism or organised crime by purchasing such a dodgy film. If I went out by myself into the woods with a phone camera and a toy gun I would still make a better film than this...Even when me and a friend was drunk and put this film on we could only bare the first 5 minutes. It made me want to take a rusty spoon to remove my eyes.Whoever was responsible for this film, I hope you feel ashamed and consider another career, possibly rice picking in Cambodia far far away... your pal Andy

jasonqprwiegand (This is the forth time I've tried to add a review for this and have dubbed it down on each occasion, please find it in your hearts to finally allow this to be posted as a warning to the masses)The worst film I have ever bought (on holiday no access to internet to review). I cannot believe the overall rating is so high, on further investigation find that of the 27 people who voted 11, yes 11 (close family friends and actual actors in said film no doubt) gave this pile a 10. These people must be found and their IMDb accounts closed. The costume department must of had a frenzied afternoon on ebay getting all the uniforms together and the script seems to have been written by a 10 year old who still plays war using a finger for a gun running around in his back garden making machine gun sounds and flinging his arms out pretending to be an aeroplane. The only credit I can give to the "actors" is that they're obvious internal cringing was very well hidden whilst having to actually deliver that drivel.I feel a better film could of been made by burning $499,800 of the budget, buy a cheap camera for $100 spend the rest on strong lager and film yourself mucking around with some mates for a couple of hours.Regards and don't watch,,,,, you have been warned.

jimlacy2003 I'd like to tell you what I thought of this movie, but honestly I could not sit through the first 20 minutes of it, let alone ten..One can tell in the first few minutes that this was quite a low budget movie. From the title screens there are vintage war clips that appears as if it was thrown together with an home computer complete with fake film grain applied. (I can picture the producers of this movie laughing now.. "man you are spot on! Spiff used premier at home to get that title out!")The whole production stank from low budget. The acting, directing, cinematography (I use the term loosely), all horrible. Being a WW2 history buff I have seen a lot of war movies and documentaries. This is not even made for TV bad, it's just b.a.d - BAD! It should be arrested for impersonating a film.Not that low budget is always bad. There have been some that have pulled it off and made great and successful low budget movies. Maybe that's what they were thinking here. It was probably way more movie then should have been attempted with such a low budget. IMHO guys, it would have been better to concentrate on a much smaller story with a few talented (but affordable) actors on a smaller scale. Chew off a piece of something interesting from WW2, and make an story of it. Try to make some epic with such a low budget is epic fail.The poster is the best thing about this movie. It makes it look like a movie that you might want to watch. And if you do, don't tell me I didn't warn you first.
