Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Highly Overrated But Still Good

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

For people not familiar with former Yugoslavia, the bridge is located on Tara river canyon in present day Montenegro. Build just before WWII, it is breathtakingly beautiful.By its characteristics, the movie was a departure from the "black wave", which was more focused on the inner psychology of protagonists, to more "modern" action orientated and streamlined, stereotypical and one may say even cartoon-like characters following Hollywood style WWII template.Having said all that, I quite like this movie. Very entertaining and with a great "O bella ciao" tune.

Your usual nondescript Yugoslavian WW2 movie. Once again the movie features a group of partisan fighters who must go up against the might of the Nazi army when they decide to blow up a bridge over which a large number of German troops are about to cross. The plot is as predictable as it sounds, although the film does feature a ton of action which makes the running time fly past reasonably well.I saw this film in an incredibly poor quality version - shown on the UK Movies4Men TV channel - with blurred and flickering picture quality, although at least it was the English subtitled version. Unlike many Yugoslavian war films, this one doesn't have any imported American stars in the lead, just local actors.I guess these films play better in Eastern Europe where audiences can identify more with the characters and their actions. It all seems very tired to me, a film which simply copies Hollywood fare. The action scenes are adequate but hardly astounding. I prefer the equivalent British WW2 films, which tend to have less action but better characterisation.

They have just shown this on movies4men with English sub titles, whoever did them needs shooting, they have done literal word for word translation and totally miss the context.It is a shame that so many sub titled films that are spoilt because the person is unable to actually pay attention to the sentence and properly translate the context.I agree with a previous poster that the character presentation is very good, no doubt why it was released with (poor) English sub titles. It is a shame that some good actors are no longer with us. I will research their names and find out if they died as a result of the break up of Yugoslavia.

The strong German Army forces must to cross over the bridge (somewhere in Yugoslavia) on their way back from Greece,in the year of 1944.Yugoslavian Partisans Headquarter send a group of commandos to destroy the bridge and hold up Germans.Hajrudin Siba Krvavac (sometimes called "Bosnian Raoul Walsh") was the best ex-YU action movie director."Most" ("The Bridge",on English)was his first big hit,followed (three years later)by his most famous masterpiece-"Valter brani Sarajevo"."Most" is totally in Siba's style: great fight scenes,plenty of action and very,very little (almost zero)stupidities about communism (that was regular in movies about Partisans made by other ex-YU directors).Actors are great,too.Bata Zivojinovic is very good in just another one of his numerous "German-soldiers-exterminating"roles.Slobodan Perovic (in the role of architect who creates the bridge and now must to destroy his masterpiece)is excellent,so as Jovan-Burdus Janicijevic,one of the most popular ex-YU supporting actors.Relja Basic(role of SS officer) show us that villain characters are not strange to him.Unfortunately,many people who worked on this film are not still alive (including director Hajrudin Siba Krvavac,and actors Slobodan Perovic,Jovan Janicijevic and Boro Begovic)and this comment is some kind of my hommage to them.
