Undescribable Perfection

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

I have seen a lot of poor films, but nearly always watch then until the end. Not this one, half an hour is all I could take, terrible script and story to match. Cringeworthy. Who finances these things?

"Can you imagine what that gold could do to help my people? Will you help me get it?"There are films you can compare with a richly filled five-course dinner. First they spoil you with a tasty opener. After which a well-filled middle piece is offered. And then as an enjoyment afterwards, you're offered a delicious dessert. Satisfied you'll leave the establishment and you'll remember this treat with great pleasure. Other films are like a cozy family picnic. It's relaxed and pleasant. No extensive preparations are necessary. And when you look back on it, you think of the cosiness and life values. "Renegades" is like the McDonald's. You are served very quickly. You're eating it as quickly as possible (it's fast food, remember). And before you know it you've already forgotten what you have eaten and hungry again.There's also something positive to say about this film. The short performance of J.K. Simmons, acting in the same way as when he scolded his students as a music teacher in "Whiplash", is magnificent. And the underwater footage in the second half of the film, looks beautiful. And finally, the Bosnian girl (in real life the Dutch actress Sylvia Hoeks) is a pleasure to watch. If I had to choose between her and a nice dish filled with cevapcici, I knew what I would take. Quite obvious that she can convince a group of American Navy Seals to dive for a Nazi treasure in a lake in Bosnia. Or was it the gold bar that did it?Although this film is of the same level as that of an average television film, it's entertaining enough full of action-packed scenes and with a feel-good ending. The fragment with the tank is pure enjoyment. It looked like a modern episode of "The A-Team" with MacGyver in it for some assistance. I'm sure nobody would even know this movie if they had left out the well-known actors. But at least it would have been a little less expensive and the turnover would have been more positive. If you have a package of popcorn laying around and a little time to kill, this film is definitely worth it. But just like with the MacDonald menu, the next day you can't even remember what it was about anyway.

Fake story, glorifing americans against Serbs (who even were not in Sarajevo), actors of Serbs are Croats???,.. French gold was sent to Germany, Germans were not stupid. Bad acting. Stoped waching at 10th minute. Not waste your time

While it's not meant to be taken too seriously, this movie is rather well made with a story about loyalty, courage and doing what's right.
