A moderately sized production for a movie that barely passes as acceptable. The screenplay is quite weak, at times, even boring. A cast of big names is misused and entirely wasted. Embarking on a historically set war film without having the appropriate technical resources is a costly mistake. In fact, in terms of vehicles and weapons, the film is a complete mess - tanks that came after the events narrated, fake and poorly disguised vehicles, essentially a collection of historical inaccuracies that are a real eyesore for genre enthusiasts.

And the worst part is that it doesn't even adhere to historical facts; here, the mission ends in success when in reality, it was quite the opposite. The film is entirely unbalanced in its use of available resources, with an excessive number of explosions, which, although well-executed, stand out compared to the rest of the props used.

The dialogue is scarce and of poor quality, the performances are unconvincing, contributing to a convoluted and disjointed narrative that is often tedious.
