Reception
A review of the film in TV Guide described it as an "unexciting depiction of the attempts of a handful of WW II soldiers to rescue a buddy" with "not enough action to sustain its 76 minutes."[2] A review of the film on the Nostalgia Central website described it as "naive and amateurish" and noted that "this may not be the worst war movie ever made, but it’s definitely up there, complete with bad acting, a ridiculous storyline, hokey jungle set, stock footage, and terrible production values."[3]
