About
You may like this if you want a grim, endurance-focused WWII survival story and can overlook rough visuals and uneven performances; Not for you if you need realism, strong character depth, or polished effects like in The Delta Force.
Pros: intense survival ordeal; based on real events; a few strong moments | Cons: weak acting; cheap-looking effects; uneven, dull pacing
