A reputed war movie, though I have to admit I'd never heard of it before. I can see how it could've been a fan favorite in the past when these movies were still hot property. It's just as easy to see how this one faded from public interest. It's a rather generic war flick, just a little more unfocused than the biggest films in the genre.
The fact that we're watching multiple missions makes it less intense, it does however add a bit of variety, which I welcomed. The performances are nothing special, neither is the presentation, but the relatively short runtime and the different settings made it quite palatable still. It's not a great film, but far from the worst war flick.
