The Inglorious Bastards
Set in Europe during WWII, a group of American soldiers on their way to military prison are beset upon by a German artillery attack, escaping with Switzerland in their sights. Before making it any farther, they volunteer to steal a V2 warhead for the French Underground - taking them deep into the heart of German territory.

The film jumps from its lowest point during the exploitative river sequence to strong praise for the mission assignment and subsequent action climax.
The film starts solidly with its premise and early action, dips during some of its more exploitative middle sections, then builds to a widely praised spectacular finale. Reviewers consistently highlighted Castellari's action direction and the climactic train sequence as standout elements. The overall sentiment reflects a well-regarded B-movie that delivers on its action promises despite some rough patches.
