Most helpful review The Wild Geese

  • Old fashioned action at it's best

    Rated - 4.0 stars

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    Looking at the film now it may seem old style now but back in 1978 it was a big hit.

    It has a really great score by roy budd who also wrote the score for get carter.

    The plot may be a little thin but the action is first rate.

    Worth a look just to see the acting greats together,and you can see they had a good time making it.

  • One of the Best Cast Movies of the 1970s

    This remains one of the best war movies ever in my opinion and what a cast Burton, Moore, Harris Kruger all put in great performances. Great story great action and a pretty cool sound track well worth a watch.

  • DVD v Blu-Ray

    Rated - 3.0 stars

    If your thinking of buying this film then you have probably already seen it a few times, it is a great action film with fantastic performances from a great British cast. This is one of my all time favorite films, I was waiting for the Blu-Ray release as I'm trying to upgrade all my favorites. But I was dissapointed with the quality of the transfer really didn't look any beeter than my existing DVD copy, shame.

  • Ruthless Britain

    Rated - 4.0 stars  
    By Ashtroth (17 reviews) from Scotland , 06 Aug 2012
    That sums up the cold blooded monsters known as the british government and how the ex servicemen die thinking they are doing the right thing for queen and country. Yet our queen knows nothing of it.
