Spoils of War (2009)

If you see this in the video store, walk on by! Horrible movie! Bad acting. Absolutely weird and jarring editing. Commandoes? No! They are just a bunch of inept regular soldiers.The movie uses old WWII footage to build a back story throughout movie as filler! Even spells Hitler wrong on a newspaper article in beginning (spelled as Hilter). They must have gotten a tax credit for passing 85 minutes or something.Ridiculous plot - the amount of phony money shown would not damage a major Allied economy, but might have helped make this movie better if they had spent some of it!After the credits (why I finished the movie, I don't know) you are treated to a Sad Sack-like cartoon (voiced by Mel Blanc of Bugs Bunny fame, which was cool) about keeping secrets so the enemy (in this case, the Nazis and Japanese) will not find out. Do not rent or buy.

When I was young I bought my first car which was very inexpensive. The purpose of this car was to get me to my destination. On my journey I didn't have much money for food, gas and motels. I ate cheap and slept cheap and certainly didn't drive a Cadillac, but I did get where I wanted to go.The same can be said of this picture. With a limited budget, there were not the magnificent sets as seen in 'Saving Private Ryan' or mega star actors like Brad Pitt or Tom Hanks, and certainly the script could have been better written.Having said that, the film maker did arrive at his destination also. No, not in the style to which we are accustomed. We should evaluate each film based on the story and budget and not base our criticisms on comparisons to benchmark mega-budget films. This artist painted a fair portrait given a limited pallet of colors.

(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.

This has to be the "Cr*p" (not even going to call it a film!) that you use to judge a films ratings when your getting near the bottom....this is the very bottom!! Man I watched it for free and even then after the first few moments I was looking for the off switch. I'm just so glad I'd not eaten prior to watching otherwise ....well you can guess! The few props used must have been borrowed from some WW2 club which had insisted they not get dirty or damaged....and the uniforms, well looked to me like the wardrobe had hit the local Jumble sales..awful! I don't know any of the actors personally or what work they've been doing previous to this but all I can assume is they were all skint and needed the money (if there was any??)... I am serious now, I really have seen better acting from 10 year olds with spud guns down the woods!!! I have tried so hard to find even the smallest thing about this film that could merit anything near 1 star and all I could come up with was the trees in the landscape, they were the only thing living in this mess. So Best actor go's to the Oak tree behind the cabin and best supporting go's to the pine by the track, well done guys! How you stood for so long while this was going on around you God knows!!
