A classic war movie that is showing its age. If you want to cheer for the Brits while they fight against the native people of India, this is definitely a film for you. It's a mix of war, adventure, and comedy, but for the most part, it's just very bad and very dated. Apart from the above-average cinematography, there's nothing to see here.

There's a bit of Indiana Jones here, especially when the four soldiers get stuck in an Indian temple. The film doesn't take itself too seriously, but the performances are terrible, the cultural elements are grating and the runtime is excessive for a simple film like this. Not a memorable film.
