Negative Positive
Title: Wild Geese
Review: I first saw this film in the theaters when it was released in 1978. I thought it was great. I was excited to see it on dvd at the movie rental store and decided to check it out once more. Sadly, it doesn't stand the test of time. While the cast is terrific, they just couldn't rise above a lukewarm script and a shoddy production. The action sequences are so staged looking that I felt like I was watching a youtube video.I was surprised to learn that the producer had worked on The Guns of Navarone. Now that's a movie that stands up. If you want a good military adventure, check out Navarone or Where Eagles Dare (also starring Richard Burton) or Uncommon Valor (with the great Gene Hackman).
