Summary of Kelly's Heroes

In the midst of World War II, an array of colorful American soldiers gets inside information from a drunk German officer about millions of dollars worth of gold hidden on enemy soil. Kelly (Clint Eastwood), a private with the platoon, devises a plan to sneak past the German officers to steal the loot for his crew. They recruit more men and set their plan into action. Despite several casualties, the men are determined to press forward, even if it means striking a deal with the opposing army.

Most war movies are depressing, as is natural considering the topic. This movie shows the lighter side of things when a demoralized roughneck platoon decide to break through the lines for their own reasons... money! The casting on this movie is...
Seemed to lack focus, kind of offbeat which i think is probably a good thing, the 60's feel to a ww2 movie seemed a little out of place, over the movie wasn't bad, great cast, but a little long for my taste.
Likely to see
