There's a lot to hate about this film. It's cheap, there's too much bad CGI, the director is obviously a big fan of Tarantino style post modernism, but then again, there's a lot of action, and the film most definitely is tongue in cheek. People reviewing this have scoffed at the girl with a camera jammed between her boobs, squeezing them together to get a picture. Here's a thought: It was probably a joke to begin with.What you have is four GIs sent over to Europe to rescue an undercover agent who's there to spy on some Nazi occult goings on. There's the ex-priest, the good guy, the redneck racist and the Ghost Dog style black GI with a samurai sword. They all make their way to the Nazi base, where Claudia, the undercover agent, is working.This film (including the soundtrack) is a huge homage to seventies and eighties films (but not Nazisploitation films as noted by another reviewer). Someone else here thought the 'girl on a bike' effect was hilarious but it's a clear copy of Tarantino's same thing from Pulp Fiction.And that's the problem with the film: There's too much by way of Tarantino's 'Grindhouse' influences, with the ageing of the film and such like. But then again, no one bores you for twenty minutes with a soliloquy about black widow spiders (I hate that crap!).Then again, the soundtrack is spot on, with it sounding like a mix of Ennio Morricone and Tangerine Dream. I choose to accept there's a huge amount of irony in this film, and kind of enjoyed it (I'm beginning to think even the CGI was used ironically).Maybe I'm just in a good mood. Watch it or not, I don't care.

Utter garbage ! if u don't understand the German history from 1933-1945 keep your finger away from this ! Some Hollywood's propaganda media products are PURE GARBAGE and just lied to you and your children will be sadly learning a wrong historical fact. As a human being, Hitler came to power to establish the prosperity and improve the German labor skills (historical facts). If the Nazis should have created a super monster in this film, they would have won the war !! Sadly the idiots will enjoy this movie so much ! the special effects look like something from an 70's film. Despite the poor script some actors try and some don't one German soldier has a terrible accent and may as way stay silent. Watch out spoiler: black - man, dumb voluptous silicon blondie woman who works as a spion, 5 negative stars, unappetite/disgusting

The cover of the DVD announces this film as "A cult classic - Iron Sky meets Outpost" so I bought it in eager anticipation. What an idiot! I can barely even begin to articulate how much this statement overstates the artistic merit of this 72 minutes of rubbish. I knew I was in trouble from the beginning with the hilarious "special effects" of the burning plane but I thought I would give it the benefit of the doubt and soldier on in the hope that it would get better. I kind of stayed with it until the hilarious back projection bit with the girl on the motorbike, which is a classic Ed Wood moment, and it was at this point my will to stay with it was seriously evaporating. Once we got to the bit with the virgin begging the soldier to relieve of her affliction in order to save herself from the Nazis I crumbled and gave up. OK, I suppose I should have carried on until the end in order to review this but I expect most people who stumble upon this cinematic train-wreck will concur with me that getting to the end of this is like having teeth pulled.For those living in Blighty do not be tempted by the fact that it is a fiver in the bargain bin at Tesco (I expect it will remain in there for some time as I doubt there will be many takers). Take my advice if you are momentarily tempted as you trail pass the DVDs and go buy some booze instead - the experience of a fine bottle of Albanian chardonnay will be much more memorable than this film, believe me (and at least the label on the bottle probably does not misrepresent the contents).

You'll want to stay clear of this movie. I'll sum up other weak points: 1. the so-called action scenes. You see a lot of soldiers moving and shooting, and for some strange reason they miss a lot. And I mean a lot, regardless of the weapons provided to them. 2. the main characters are thoroughly stereotyped, though I admit the actors give it their best with the crappy script they are given. By this I mean only the 3 main actors. Whatever is in the German camp needs to get a reality check. 3. the devil touch. Sure, the Nazis were into the occult, but even after stretching my imagination, I can't for the life of me understand why these devils are so lame, and why it takes some long-haired dude with crappy Latin to evoke them. 4. pray that you don't speak German. The accent is thick and the dialogues are short and/or meaningless. I've seen this before, where it seems that these actors get paid by the number of words they're allowed to utter. Same goes for the Polish girl in the movie. 5. not that it would save anything, but they could have had the decency to choose some better looking women and not make-up artists. That works in more than one movie in this genre, at least to some extent.Look, I fastforwarded through the action scenes, and then I felt sorry for listening to the dialogue scenes. I watch movies all the time, high budget to no budget, but this one really was too difficult for me. A 2 out of 10 please, or a 3 for trying.
