Gary Arnold Washington Post Force 10 is a mission that should probably have been aborted. Mar 4, 2019 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times It doesn't leave much of an impression; a director like Guy Hamilton, a graduate of four of the Bond pictures, can turn out action movies like this in his sleep. This time, alas, that's apparently what he did. Rated: 2.5/4 Mar 5, 2005 Full Review Peter Martin EverythingButHorror.com Harrison Ford displays good command as a military leader. ... a good picture that is filled with a number of explosive action set-pieces. Jul 10, 2023 Full Review Romola Costantino The Sun-Herald (Australia) This war drama is a simple, exciting business of military and hush hush operations, directed in traditional English style by Guy Hamilton. May 18, 2023 Full Review Grant Watson Fiction Machine For those who have outwatched other, much better, war movies like The Dirty Dozen, Where Eagles Dare, and indeed the original Navarone, it serves as a broadly satisfying alternate. Rated: 6/10 Jul 20, 2022 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com ...a better watch than its tarnished reputation suggests; you can't go too far wrong with this cast and a dog-eared, but reliable plot... Rated: 3/5 Jul 24, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

CodyZamboni Z Fun, fast paced, exciting, rousing WW2 adventure. With empathetic characters, Light breezy banter and humor, Decent minature FX destruction, Ford and Shaw are charismatic leads, For a PG rated movie, it has surprising nudity and a decapitation. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/16/24 Full Review Blu B It's a Guy Hamilton film with all the bad tendecies. The plot is very farfecthed and at certain points gets a bit convuluted though not terribly. The action can be very over the top as well. This weighs everything down as this doesn't have a lot of quiet moments save for the ending which is the best part and is solid. The blowing of the dam and the traitor there hunting almost feels forgotten about and could've probably been cut completely. This could've just been a generic WWII action movie and not a sequel to the classic because really there is no character development or expanding upon ideas in any serious attempt. Any attempt is weighed down by the farfecthed plot and over the top action that runs throughout this. The special effects are pretty good though save for the laughably bad decapitated head. Especially the end effects are really good minitures. The music isn't bad but not that catchy. Everything else is just ok about it. Shaw & Ford don't really have that much chemistry and Weathers character feels like he's almost completely seperate from the group and could've been cut as well. there is some nice locales in this and good camerawork but everything is just weighed down by the over the top action and plot that just is not absurd but very farfetched and filled with plot convineces. It never weaves the action into something meaningful (save the end) with the characters and just isn't as tightly written an adventure as the first. Unless your a die hard Ford or Shaw fan I can't really recommend this to anyone. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/28/24 Full Review 007tribefan B Cannot believe this movie isn't rated much higher. I saw this at an Army base theatre. The theatre was packed, and the scene where Ford and Shaw are deciding how long to set the fuse to blow the damn inspired a STANDING OVATION. RIP Carl Weathers. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/03/24 Full Review Jelisije J An underrated film with soldiers flying into enemy territory during World War 2 with multiple missions such as killing a spy, team up with the Russians, and destroy a bridge before it falls into enemy hands. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Regular action movie, not at the level of the previous film it follows. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member This is one of my favorite WWII movies of all time. An all star cast with Robert Shaw in one of the last films before he died, Harrison Ford right after Star Wars, and a Barbara Bach nude scene. Plus lots of explosions. What more could you ask for? Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
