Dorathen Better Late Then Never

Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

petarmatic When I was growing up in Sarajevo during those times I never thought that this film in the later years will be called Communist propaganda. It really is that, just that, good action Yugoslav Communist propaganda. It is really popular in China. I am not sure why, but it is. Even today Chinese tourists come to Sarajevo to visit filming sets.As far as plot goes it is a typical WWII action film. Nothing that particular or special about it. Yugoslavia produced number of these during those years. Pity these countries left from Yugoslavia do not have the budgets or capabilities to produce even better film then those. But film industry has changed a lot over the years, and with break up of Yugoslavia, things changed dramatically.

joeserpa This movie is good for one soul purpose, it was a creation of one of the best Bosnian director ever (and Bosnia have Oscar winners directors), Hajrudin Krvavac.Hajrudin Krvavac was real "engine" behind this movie, not main actor Bata Zivojinovic, who was in that time communist regime actor n°1, so any director who created in that time bigger movie in Bosnia or in former Yugoslavia, was ordered by communist regime to take Zivojinovic like main actor. Every movie of Krvavac are pretty watchful, like Most (Bridge), or Partisans Escadrille.Beside Zivojinovic acting performance in that movie was very weak, one of the worst in that movie. Beside in real life, Zivojinovic is opposite from Valter in movie, he is some kind of the fake Valter in real life, he was in 90s in Milosevic's Chetniks party, so real Valter in reality fought Chetniks and those like Zivojinovic, because they were on side of the Axis.Also it is wrong to say that country of origin of this movie is Yugoslavia.Yugoslavia don't exist, it was a communist union created by six countries, and this movie was not financed from Yugoslav budget, but by Bosnia Film from Sarajevo, and majority owner of that movie "house" was Bosnia. So owner of that movie is Bosnia, not Yugoslavia.It was Bosnian movie and Bosnian director. Also Serbo-Croatian language don't exist, it was artificial "language" created 1954 in Novi Sad by Serbian and Croatian communists and imposed by them to all others in former Yugoslavia.This movie languages are Bosnian and German!

lifesurfer2002 I am a Chinese of the 60s. Agree with everything my fellow Chinese says. The only other film/TV series close in my opinion is Band of Brothers. Not mentioned above is the fact the beautiful music which is such an integral part of the film. The great thing about the film is they don't picture the Germans as stereotypical demons, which makes it more convincing to the audience. I did some research on Yugoslav's part in WWII and would really like to know more about them. Unfortunately, the materials in Chinese and English are very limited. Really want to know about the musicians but no info on them is available either.Also just found out that all the German officers are played by German actors, which makes it very convincing. What is so pathetic is the hero was only ranked #9 of the best Serbian Actors & Actresses... Just dug out the history between the countries within Yugoslav and I can understand why they don't think that highly of the film like the Chinese do.
