Very amateurish-looking war film that often made me laugh unintentionally.

The firefights also sounded like guns blazing. The acting wasn't too great either

best. Many actions also seemed rather clumsy. Undeniably a B-level film,

and the film, with some strange (misplaced) scenes, was more of an oddity

of a war film to be taken seriously. With that perspective the film wasn't bad either,

as if you were being tricked a bit. A strange fun, just like the film

probably wasn't intended. That final scene too: Running towards the boat, instead of hurrying up.

Although the film did bring an unexpected ending...

'In the past', well, in the early 1970s or so, you could find so-called 'war books' at the cigar shop - a kind of rascally variant of the bouquet series perhaps, with titles like 'the lost ship' or 'the damned commander'. Lots of tough stuff, lots of shooting, maybe something about loyalty. But not much more than that, and that was hardly possible because those things were usually quite thin, about fifty pages or so. Perhaps appropriately long for the target group.

This film almost seems based on something like that. A minimum of story and character drawing, but a lot of local color and a lot of action - and the blunter the better. B-list actors who put their full effort into it, but don't get any further. Not that it matters much, by the way, that's the kind of movie it is. A certain cult status, perhaps fueled by the fact that France is still dealing with the defeat in Indochine - and which is cheerfully used by the obvious far-right populists.

A connection is even made with Schoendoerffer's La 317th Section, but that is a completely different level.
