Nearly satirical in its overall effect, plot caroms between cliche dogface antics, detailed and gratuitous violence, caper melodramatics, and outrageous anachronism.
This humorous, lively, and entertaining picture could be described as a caper film set against a WW II backdrop.
It’s instilled with the bite and bark of Bilko’s capitalist fervour, and has a fun line in cool, snappy dialogue, although never intending to be quite so broadly a comedy.
Not without its problems. But it is very largely without viable solutions to them. Not without resources—it is full of resources, natural and mostly untapped—but with out that resourcefulness necessary to persuade us that comedy, any comedy, is worth the time of day.
Interesting only in so far as it reveals Eastwood's nonchalant attitude to the blockbuster. Unlike Sutherland, who tries desperately to act his way out of Troy Kennedy Martin's laboured script, Eastwood just strolls through the film, along the way creating its few cinematic moments.
An attempt to blend the war epic and the caper film that doesn't quite come off.
