Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

Leofwine_draca WILD GEESE II is a stand-alone sequel to the Richard Burton film; none of the cast return and the story is quite different here with different characters in a different situation. This is a men-on-a-mission film in which some mercenaries are tasked with springing notorious Nazi Rudolph Hess from a Russian-run prison in West Berlin, a task which is every bit as tense and difficult as it sounds.This is a largely criticised movie that suffers from having an overlong running time; around the middle part of the production the pacing really flags and half an hour could easily have been cut out to give it more pace and momentum. Saying that, the pacing problems are really the only problem the film has, as otherwise it's a solid thriller with interesting cast members and well-directed action from old-timer Peter Hunt.The story and execution reminded me of RONIN a little, although the Frankenheimer film is by far the better of the two. Scott Glenn makes for a taciturn hero although Barbara Carrera is a weak spot as the female of the piece, reduced to a screaming damsel-in-distress by the end. The best role goes to Edward Fox, riffing on his old DAY OF THE JACKAL character. Laurence Olivier's cameo as Rudolph Hess is a memorable one even if he gets little screen time, while Derek Thompson is also fine as a slimy IRA man. The supporting actors are all effective too. Once the pacing picks up, WILD GEESE II remains entertaining through to the end, and the action is stark and realistic; I liked it.

verbusen I'm not rating this a 9 of 10 compared to ALL the masterpiece films ever made, no this is not in the realm of a 2001 a Space Odyssey or such, but I got into this enough for the action genre to give it a 9 of 10 rating. The 4 score on IMDb is way under what it should be, so I'll try to justify why it's rated so low. I am imagining people are comparing it to The Wild Geese and why wouldn't you? The movie poster says they are back on another mission. Trouble is no one in the first film is in this one, nor has it anything to do with Africa. So don't watch this as a sequel because it's not. It's barely a mercenary film, it's more of a caper/ espionage film. There are several "Oh Crap" moments I had watching this, which makes it cool in my book, I mean The Wild Geese had like one of those when they blow up the bridge and the rest was pretty formulaic, I do not want to compare this to WG though as I loved that film also, I'm just saying that this film is not formulaic at all, it will surprise you, at least two or three times, trust me. Edward Fox replays his Day Of The Jackal role to an extent, and Scott Glenn is at the peak of his bad as*ness career. If you are looking for eye candy from Barbara Carrera you won't find anything, she is there to mainly get in the way but she's not annoying so it's still all good, just don't look for her to flash anything, she is bundled up throughout the film (at least the cut I watched). This film if I could give you an idea of what it felt like, it really reminded me of "The Dogs Of War' in it's grittiness. I'm happy I tuned into this 4.6 rated action film, it's probably the best 4.6 rated film I'll see in years. I rate it a 9 out of 10.

goldfinger2a-2 I have just seen this film, and l thought it was quite good, not up to the original but the story line was good, the acting was good, in fact it was a good film with a fantastic idea.Olivier and Fox add to the cast with Olivier doing his best to convey a hard part...I have read in books that this film was a "bomb" and a lot of folk don`t like it, but why has every film got to have a message, why can't people just see a film for what is should be a bit of fun, l give this film 8/10

gridoon If you're expecting lots of action and gunplay, don't bother; you'll surely be disappointed. The movie focuses more on intrigue and endless spy games. The complicated story maintains interest throughout, but ultimately it's all for naught. Still, there is a sly performance by Edward Fox to be enjoyed (if you can stand his deliberately curious accent!) (**)
