Synopsis:

From IMDb: “A rag tag unit of misfits known as the War Pigs must go behind enemy lines to exterminate Nazis by any means necessary.”

Poster Rating: D+

Review: As with any good direct-to-video film, a good direct-to-video poster design is required and this seems to fit that bill perfectly. For those keep track at home, that’s not a good thing.

Trailer Rating: C / C-

Review: (#1) Here, we have a film about problem soldiers being retrained for an important job only to get captured and require rescue. The trailer doesn’t give us much more beyond that and we are woefully under-prepared for being interested in the film.

(#2) Removing most of the references to the film’s plot, the second trailer makes the film even less interesting by comparison, explaining why it ended up as a direct-to-video project…or at least it sure looks like one.
