It was fun

I enjoyed the movie. I've heard reviews and it seems like people are expecting something like inglorious bastards. It's not. Even that movie has issues with pacing.

This is an embellished story based on real people. The theater was 80% full and audience was having a good time. The jokes landed. The action was good
The tension mostly worked. It didn't feel like 2 hours.

It sounds like something we’d have gotten in the sixties with Richard Burton and Charles Bronson.

That's pretty reasonable. Almost like where eagles dare.

I need to rewatch that.

I love Charles Bronson, Burton was in a war movie called Breakthrough with Robert Mitchum that I enjoyed a lot.
