This looks like it was choreographed by a group of children playing war games. Mickey Rourke continues his tradition of signing on to movies that offer minimal screen time in return for a wage, whereby he arrives on set, appears to completely disregard any kind of script or appearance guidelines and carries on like a lunatic. In this case he's a cowboy hat wearing, long haired Colonel or something. It would be more convincing if he was a patient in a psych ward. The movie is just plain bad It's how I picture the cinematic endeavours of a group of war history buffs.

WAR PIGS is a typical low rent WW2-themed B-movie; this genre is never very interesting and this film is no exception. A bunch of green American troops head into occupied France to battle the Nazis during the D-Day invasion, but the only action here is set in one or two countryside locations. Mickey Rourke is prominently billed but only has a small cameo, while Dolph Lundgren struggles with his French accent throughout. Luke Goss is underutilised as the dashing hero and it's left to a bunch of uninteresting youngsters to take the lead. There are a few shoot-outs and some scenes of torture but this is generally a dud, lacking in suspense, thrills, or excitement.

So many holes in the plot, miscast roles, bad acting and special effects. Mickey Rourke has a small role as a 1940's American military officer who wears a cowboy hat over his bleached long stringy hair, talking like he just woke up on the floor of a drunk tank. Dolph Lundgren plays a 1940's French military officer who has an accent he seems to be trying out for the first time and keeps changing throughout the film. They lead a group of surly, but tough GIs who call themselves War Pigs "because they like to get dirty" into enemy territory to look at a big super gun and draw some pictures. There's no explanation of why they don't take photographs or why Allied planes don't just bomb the thing. The whole mission has no point. The dangerous aspect of going many miles behind enemy lines is lost when they drive their jeeps along a nice mountain road as if they're on a camping trip, and easily drive back on the same road after destroying the super gun with a stolen tank. No attempt for the enemy to chase them or intercept them at any point in their escape. Cover photos for this waste of film prominently show a character who only appears in the first few minutes, and Mickey Rourke wearing a helmet as if he's part of the War Pigs. He never wears a helmet and he doesn't even take part in the War Pigs mission.

When the best thing in a movie is Dolph Lundgren's performance, well, there you go, you have it.Poorly written, shot, acted. Sets, costumes and props are amateurish at best. What is an army Major (Mickey Rourke) during WWII doing sporting long hair and a cowboy hat? I gotta to tell you, this guy needs to stop bringing his own wardrobe to set.A waste of time. I did not even finish it. No.
