| | RUBBISH! | mattdee 06/05/2011 | | I watched this movie to escape the putrid Melbourne Australia heat. The best part about this movie was the air conditioning in the cinema. British and American actors puncing around in German uniforms with the thickest of British and American accents. ABOSOLUTE RUBBISH! |
