Overall, not a bad little Weird War 2 film, in the same genre as The Bunker, Frankenstein's Army, Ghost of War, Blood Vessel, The Devil's Rock, etc. This one held much promise, but fell down in certain key areas:
Most notably, the runtime was too short for the ideas it presented. A slow buildup of the twists and turns and who knew what, would have set the pacing and tone of the film better. The actors (Mickey Rourke aside, he was a bad casting choice here) did their best with what they had, but the film needed to flesh them out more, to give a better sense of their actions and so forth.
The special effects/location work was very well done for a modest film such as this, but there were a few scenes that needed better lighting so we could see what the characters were doing.
Unlike the aforementioned Blood Vessel the characters here were likable and it would have been nice to know just a bit more about them as the movie progressed.
6/10, a nice little surprise for those into Weird War films.
