SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

In August 1968 Polish troops- along with those of the U.S.S.R.and assorted other countries intervened- as they put it- in Czechoslovakia to prevent a hypothetical counter-revolution. This is the story of one obsolete tank and its crew...It isn't a very good film, unfortunately. National stereotypes abound- the Poles are obsessed with "honour" and- as one of them says and the film shows- they leave a mess behind everywhere they go; the Czechs are obsessed with making deals and surviving and the Russians- who appear briefly and murderously- are glass-chewing violent drunks. Most of the film is slapstick, which makes the odd realistic violence arbitrary and inappropriate without being moving. At a guess, it's an attempt to do something similar to Kusturica's surreal combination of farce, romance and drama in Underground, but the director lacks Kusturica's skills in camera-work and the film seems arbitrary and earth-bound. In the end, most of the tank crew with their recently-acquired girlfriends try to escape to Vienna and freedom in the tank.
