| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfHoping to revive a classic war film ambiance, the endeavor is simply too confined and shiny to feel knuckle-crackingly retro. |
| User Reviewlogan wpretty good movie and I just started watching so |
| User ReviewScottie MThe highlight with this film for me were the two lead actors. Both Luke Gss and Dolph Lundgren were superb. Unfortunately they were et down by some of the supporting cast who were almost unbearable. It was great to see a WW2 film released again and the props were awesome but the story line was very clichéd and predictable. I thought this was Dolph Lundgren at his best so I do hope this foreshadows a comeback and as for Luke Goss, I think he is one of the most exciting newcomers to films in recent years. Really looking forward to seeing what he does next. |
| User ReviewUnited009Decided to Stream On Tubi because it looked interesting. Saw the reviews were mixed as well when searching for them. But despite that, I came in with an open mind. It definitely isn't a perfect movie. Some of the actings is sloppy but some of it looks pretty good. The story isn't the most interesting compared to other WWII movies. Some of the visual effects/CGI looked off and took away from the overall immersiveness. Finally, some of the props looked a bit off (like the flag that looked a bit too clean and a bit too modern to completely fit in.) Despite that, I think it's an alright movie. There are definitely WWII movies that you can find with better storytelling, acting, props, and visual effects. But I think despite that it was enjoyable to watch. Some of the scenes made me chuckle and none of the scenes made me really think the movie was inherently bad. |
| User ReviewMirza Mohd SI am sure right from the trailers & the look of the film no one expected this to be an Inglorious Bastards standard film, but with B action movie stars Dolph Lundgren (The Expendables, Universal Soldier) & Luke Goss (Death Race 2 & 3, AWOL-72) at helm we can surely expect some old school entertainment. Written and made in the same vein as famous WWII movies like Kelly's Heroes and The Dirty Dozen, this is a movie for fun WWII action movie lovers! A ragtag group of misfits being thrown together to take on a mission no one else would attempt, and no one else thinks this ragtag group of misfits has a chance in hell of accomplishing. Frankly, this basis for a movie is nothing new. Films like Inglorious Basterds, The Monuments Men, The Dirty Dozen and Kelly's Heroes are some fine examples. I guess it gets used so often because audiences like it, I know I do especially when it's done well. While, this film may not end up in the masterpiece category, its good to add spice to a lazy weekend. Sure, if you look closely enough, you can see the much better movies that inspired this, but so much of the quality of those originals has been lost in other cheap imitations. Being a B movie itself, It gets the ingredients and process kind of right, but it never pays enough attention to the little details. In a good example of this kind of movie, you only care about the soldiers accomplishing their goals because you care about the soldiers. Here, every member of the this film is such a thin stereotype, it's hard to care. There's the smart ass, the conflicted man of faith, the fresh faced newbie. But we only know that because these characters basically introduce themselves as such. We never learn these things organically in a way that makes them seem real. They're never people, they're all just movie characters. The story follows Captain Jack Wosick (Luke Goss), who after following orders based on bad intel loses his entire platoon and is stripped off his rank. Until Major AJ Redding (Mickey Rourke) offers him a new assignment of conducting an operation behind enemy lines in exchange of giving him back his rank (should he choose to accept it). He is handed over a group of ragtag, misfit men know as the War Pigs. Along with French commando Captain Hans Picault (Dolph Lungren), These two train the War Pigs in various fighting techniques with knives, climbing ropes etc. the WWII "norm." At first flaunting their rebellious nature and contempt for authority, a training montage shows the War Pigs learning to respect their new superiors and learning to work as a well disciplined team. While pegged as an action movie, I would say the relationship between Wosick and Picault, is the real heart of the story. Wosick is dealing with the loss of his platoon from an early mission, while Captain Picault helps Jack come to terms with his loss. He tells him "Orders are orders." A common theme amongst soldiers. The first half of the movie is frankly tedious, it slows down a lot and there is a lot of contemplation (don't overdo that in such a movie), the opening action sequence is also terrible and uses CGI muzzle flashes, although those are absent later in the film, odd. The second half is better, it raises the bar to execute enjoyable action scenes. A throwback to war movies before they had to blow up the whole world, the film is most reminiscent of an old TV series. There are attractive American heroes with slightly rebellious or sardonic attitudes, minimal production values, and Nazis that make you wonder how they ever conquered Poland. Luke Goss, who I usually refer to as a poor man's Jason Statham (not because they are bald), but due to his own screen charisma reminiscent of Jason Statham's early days. He is instantly likeable here, & plays his part here well. Lundgren puts in his best performance here since his role as Gunnar Jensen in the original Expendables, at times you even forget that it's him. That goes a long way! And he's also in most of the movie (unlike Mickey Rourke's cameo). Dolph Lundgren enters the picture with a funny little French Foreign Legion hat that he mercifully doesn't wear much. He grew up near here, speaks German, wants revenge for his parents' deaths. Mercifully, we don't visit their graves. The filmmakers avoid mawkishness and sentimentality at every turn - lest they give this a sense of reality. I have to say again the understated conversations between Lundgren and Goss are probably the best thing about the movie. Mickey Rourke shows up in a cowboy hat as Major A.J. Redding and gives Jack an assignment to redeem himself: find a Nazi supergun. Mickey's in good form though he looks like he spends all day eating fried food. On the whole, 'War Pigs' is an old fashioned WWII film which can be enjoyed if you are a fan of B grade action flicks. Running at a run time of 91 minutes, the film ends just when you expect the real mission to begin: something like conquering the Berlin when Hitler isn't watching. You know: go all Dirty Dozen with the real pyrotechnics. Maybe a sequel? Nevertheless, if you're into this kind of uncomplicated fare and not looking for a Tarantino spin of ultimate gruesomeness, you probably will enjoy this! |
| User ReviewBruno VVery simple movie . Nothing spectacular going on , with only one order to forfile it has not much round the body . |
| User ReviewSim WI can't say I hated it, maybe not liked it a whole tone but didn't hate it. Really it's a pretty basic plot for a war movie. But that doesn't make it bad. Not sure why people hate it so much. |
| User ReviewYvonne BI was looking forward to this film, but for me, the potential for a great film was there, but the wooden acting and poor dialogue let it down |
| User ReviewTosiKuvesiWar Pigs is a movie about 8 guys who decide to take a stroll through the woods, despite the fact that some of them hate each others guts. Then Nazis happen, and Friendship is Magic once again. The script is terrible and the acting isn't much better. |
| User ReviewPaul GI love a great war movie. This isn't one. Awful Dirty Dozen knock-off. Lundgren's French accent is straight out of horror films. Rourke plays a long-haired Colonel whose face looks like a battering ram hit it until the cows came home. The lead has facial hair in WWII. The wise-ass Sergeant would be shot for dereliction of duty. The dialogue out of children's homework. NOTHING works. This is simply unwatchable. */*****. Pure shit. ?/18%. |
